In analyses stratified by SES, people with the highest level of purpose (versus lowest) consistently tended to have lower mortality risk across levels of SES. However, people with mid-range purpose levels had lower mortality risk only if they also had mid-to-high education, income, and wealth.

Apr 13, 2023 · Results of logistic regression analyses showed that purpose in life and self-rated health were both significantly positively associated with longevity, and that purpose in life significantly moderated the relationship between self-rated health and mortality.
Having a purpose in life has been nominated consistently as an indicator of healthy aging for several reasons including its potential for reducing mortality risk. The current study sought to extend these findings by examining whether purpose promotes longevity across the adult years, using data from the longitudinal MIDUS sample (mean age = 46. ...
The findings suggest that only one dimension of meaning is significantly related to mortality: having a sense of purpose in life (OR = 0.860; p < .05). In contrast, the data further indicate that having values, goals, and the ability to reconcile things that have happened in the past do not exert a statistically significant effect on the odds ...

Introduction. Having a higher purpose in life has been linked to favorable health outcomes. However, little research has examined whether the purpose–health association persists across different levels of SES. This study assesses whether the association between higher purpose in life and lower mortality is similar across the levels of SES. Methods.
