This source presents research examining the association between optimism and longevity in two long-term studies of men and women. The study found that higher levels of optimism were linked to a longer average lifespan and an increased probability of living to age 85 or beyond, even after accounting for demographic factors, existing health issues, and lifestyle choices. These findings suggest that optimism could be a valuable psychological trait that contributes to healthy aging and offers a potential area for interventions aimed at promoting longevity.
