Why Pessimism May Result To Longer Healthier Life

Dear Reader,

Can having an optimistic or pessimistic expectation affect lifespan? A new study published by the American Psychological Association reports optimistic older people face higher risks of disabilities and death, with those who have low expectations of a good future more likely to live longer, healthier lives. It's surprising but true... overly optimistic is associated with a great risk of disability and death within the next ten years according to study lead author Frieder R. Lang, PhD, of the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg in Germany.

The work involved examining data collected from 1993 to 2003 from an annual survey of private German households that included 40,000 subjects aged 18 to 96 years of age. The experts divided the subjects into three distinct age groups, and through mostly in person interviews the subjects were asked to rate how satisfied they were with their lives and how satisfied they thought they'd be in five years. The team used a scale of 0 to 10 to rate current and future life satisfaction. They determined accuracy by measuring the difference between anticipated life satisfaction from 1993 to actual satisfaction in 1998.

The work examined two parts of longevity; how many subjects acquired some disability within the 11 years of the study, as well as how many died during those same time periods.

Five years after that first interview, 43% of the oldest group had underestimated their future life satisfaction, 25% had predicted accurately and 32% had overestimated. Based on the average level of change in life satisfaction over time, each increase in overestimated future life satisfaction was tied to a 9.5% increase in disabilities and a 10% increased risk of death according to the analysis.

So older folks tended to underestimate their happiness, while younger people tended to overestimate how happy they would be. A fourth of elderly subjects correctly estimated their future happiness.

Why Pessimism May Result To Longer Healthier Life Continued...

The researchers were careful to account for age, gender and income differences in the accuracy of their longevity predictions. Other factors like poor health, medical treatment or personal losses and rates of disability and death may also have been involved. The latest findings don't contradict theories that unrealistic optimism about the future can be helpful when you are facing terminal disease. We also know that optimism predicts good health in general.

Having a darker outlook on the future is probably more realistic, and older adults predictions of future satisfaction may, in fact, be more accurate. Maybe by seeing the future as dark, a person is more likely to take steps to prevent it, where an unrealistic optimism may have you ignoring important signals from your body that let a disease take hold.

Of course, the research findings are no reason to stop being optimistic. Perhaps its best to recognize that your perspective, positive or negative, can impact whether you take the actions that will help you live longer and healthier. In the end, what you do with this information is your own choice.

To your good health,
