Positive Perceptions of Aging Increase Lifespan
Research shows that having positive perceptions of aging can significantly increase lifespan. Studies indicate that individuals with optimistic views about aging tend to live longer than those with negative beliefs. A 2002 study followed participants for nearly 23 years, revealing that those with positive self-perceptions of aging lived over 7.5 years longer than those with negative views. This longevity increase is attributed to a strong will to live, where the perceived benefits of life outweigh the hardships.
