Optimists' hearts are healthier: Study
New research has found, that optimistic older adults have a reduced risk of developing heart failure.
Researchers from the University of Michigan and Harvard University who tracked the experiences of more than 6,800 people over the age of 50 for four years found that those who tended to have an expectation that good things will happen were 73 percent less likely to have heart problems, compared to those with more pessimistic outlooks.
The findings, reported by Newsmax Health with reference to the Medical Xpress Website, could lead to new strategies in the healthcare industry to prevent or delay the onset of heart disease, said lead researcher Eric Kim, a doctoral student in the UM Department of Psychology.
