Previously
published reports suggest that positive psychological factors such as optimism
are associated with health benefits such as low risk of heart disease and
cardiovascular-related death. Authors of this study analyzed data from
the Health and Retirement Study. They did it in over 6,000 adults, all
older than 50, and they compared the response. They found that optimistic
folks simply have less stress which is linked to less cardiovascular events
such as heart attack and stroke.
