Chronic Disease Mortality Reduced by Feeling Happy
A new study has demonstrated that happiness can lead to measurable health benefits.
Researchers found that increased happiness is associated with a decreased mortality risk from non-communicable diseases.
“We show that subjective wellbeing, or happiness, appears to function as a population health asset only once a minimum threshold of approximately 2.7 on the life ladder scale is surpassed. Above this tipping point, increased happiness is associated with a decrease in non-communicable diseases mortality.”
According to Professor Iulia Iuga, the life ladder can be imagined as a simple zero to 10 happiness ruler, where zero means the worst possible life and 10 means the best possible life.
The team of researchers analyzed health data from 123 countries between 2006 and 2021.
Author summary: Happiness reduces chronic disease mortality risk.
