Further, 251 (66.2%) participants remained in the same cluster, 45 (11.9%) participants changed to an unhealthier cluster, and 83 (21.9%) participants shifted to a healthier cluster.
Moderate to highly accurate thresholds for body composition indices associated with a healthier clustered CVD risk were found.
For example, Verger reported five clusters among French adults, including a relatively healthy cluster and four unhealthy clusters characterised by poor diet, smoking, regular alcohol drinking, and binge alcohol drinking [ 55].
Six clusters were identified, including a 'Healthy foods' cluster characterized by higher intake of low-fat dairy products, fruit, whole grains, poultry, fish and vegetables.

Untreated MCF-7 cells displayed healthy, cluster formation (Fig. 2d).
The clusters for prostate cancer patients and healthy subjects are closer together and the signature of one prostate cancer patient falls into the healthy cluster (Supporting Information, Supplementary Figure S1D).
The cluster of prostate cancer patients slightly overlaps with the healthy cluster, probably owing to the fact that many of the prostate cancer test groups have stage I cancer.
As can be seen in Table 3, the healthy cluster (1) is characterized by low z-scores (below 0) for TV during dinner, TV viewing and PC use combined with high (above 0) z-scores for physical exercise.
The sensitivity of this method to colon cancer is slightly lower: ∼30% of the colon cancer patient signatures are found in the healthy cluster (Supporting Information, Supplementary Figure S1B).
However, the relative size (20%%) of this healthy cluster, while larger than the Korean sample [ 31] of older people (12 %) was somewhat smaller than in other studies, where for example, 25%% of older Germans [ 4], 34 % of older Americans [ 15], and approximately 29%% of Taiwanese [ 14] were in the healthy profile groups, as were 45%% of participants in the all-age Western Australian study [ 34].
