Abstract. 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 ...

However, the effect of meaning in life does not appear to be as large as that observed with the Waves 4 and 5 mortality data. The results in Table 5 further indicate that once the physical health status measures were included in the equation, meaning in life is not significantly associated with the odds of dying (OR = 0.985; ns).
its potential for reducing mortality risk. In the current study, we sought to extend previous findings by whether purpose in life promotes longevity across the adult years, using data from the longitudinal Midlife United States (MIDUS) sample. Proportional-hazards models demonstrated that purposeful individuals lived.
We tested if higher baseline purpose in life was associated with a lower likelihood of engaging in unhealthy behaviors over time, among people who reported meeting guidelines for that given behavior at baseline. We selected five health behaviors (smoking, physical activity, alcohol use, sleep, and body mass index (BMI)) 1 because they reduce ...

Mar 13, 2022 · Consistent with previous work, higher life purpose was inversely related to mortality risk over the subsequent four-year period. Relative to the baseline model, the higher mortality risk of low life purpose respondents fell by nearly 50% in the subsequent four-year period and by 100% in years 8-12.
