A study conducted by the University of Edinburgh was published in the Journal of Psychosomatic Research. The study included the analysis of data from more than 22,000 participants over a period of observation from 6 to 28 years. The results showed a reliable correlation between personal characteristics and longevity. That is, organization, activity, and readiness to help others can increase life expectancy.
Researchers noted that people who follow a daily routine, set clear goals, and manage their time effectively improve their health and live longer. Personal qualities such as cheerfulness, responsibility, diligence, caution, and willingness to help are associated with reducing the risk of death.
Indeed, during the study period, the risk of death was 21% lower in organized and active participants. People who were depressed, anxious, or easily offended lived shorter lives. Researchers note that negative emotional traits can contribute to the development of stress reactions harmful to mental and physical health.
The research team believes that the advantages of organization are associated with a healthy lifestyle. People who make a daily plan exercise more, eat a healthy diet, and get regular medical checkups - all of this helps improve long-term results.
Based on this, it can be said that establishing positive social connections with those around you can add important years to your life.
