Purpose in life was assessed at baseline (2006/2008) using the validated 7-item purpose in life subscale of the Ryff Psychological Well-being Scales. ( Ryff and Keyes, 1995 ) Each item was rated on a 6-point Likert scale, and overall scores were derived using the mean of item responses (range: 1–6), with higher scores reflecting higher sense of purpose (Cronbach α = 0.74 among those with ...

A total of 4175 articles were identified from the systematic database search, and six additional articles were found via searching the reference list of included articles (Fig. 1). After removing duplicates, 3140 records remained for review. After title and abstract screening, 3058 articles were excluded and the full-text of the remaining 82 articl...
Table 1 presents the characteristics of the 47 included studies. The earliest study was published in 1993 while the remaining included articles were published between 2002 and 2019, with 28% published in the past 5 years. All studies except the retrospective cohort study of Ul-Haq et al., were prospective cohort studies. The included studies were ...
The methodological quality of included studies based on NOS ranged between five and nine stars. Among the included studies, seven were of high methodological quality, with nine stars. Across the ten studies with less than seven stars, they were scored most poorly on the items assessing how representative the cohort was in relation to the overall po...
Of the total 47 included studies, 43 (91.5%) studies reported for at least one of the domains examined, that better QOL was associated with lower mortality risk (Table 1). Of 33 studies which assessed physical HRQoL (nine exclusively assessed physical HRQoL), 30 studies (91%) reported better HRQoL was associated with lower mortality risk. Among the...
Four studies including 53,642 participants [23, 24, 60, 70] measured QoL using the SF-36 and examined the association between the PCS and all-cause mortality and provided estimates from logistic regression analysis (OR or RR). With an average 1.8-year follow-up, one unit increase in the SF-36 PCS was associated with a 5% decrease in all-cause morta...

The number of older adults is growing rapidly throughout the world and meeting the unique needs of this growing demographic is considered a next global public health challenge. 1 Although average life expectancy has increased, so has the number of years lost to disability. 2,3 A key contributor to staving off chronic disease and years lost to disability is engaging in healthy behaviors.
Jul 26, 2020 · We computed age-adjusted mortality rates per 100,000 person-years of exposure by happiness and life satisfaction level and other covariates. In computing person-years for age-specific and age-adjusted mortality rates, deaths were assumed to occur uniformly throughout the follow-up period rather than being clustered in the first part of the period.

Most of the studies comparing happiness and life satisfaction among countries focus on averages. However, distributional differences are also important. Life satisfaction is often reported on a scale from 0 to 10, with 10 representing the highest possible level of satisfaction. This is the so-called ‘Cantril Ladder’.
