“The association between life purpose and health outcomes is becoming increasingly clear,” study co-author Celeste Leigh Pearce told Newsweek.
People who have a sense of purpose in life appear to live longer, according to the latest research linking this outlook to a person's quality of life and to better physical and mental health.
The data revealed that the stronger the participants felt they had a purpose in life, the lower their risk of dying. This result remained even when the scientists adjusted their calculations for factors that could affect their score, such as a participants' sociodemographic status and their health. “Life purpose may be derived from family, community, work, religion or other domains, and so it is accessible to everyone," Celeste said."Our view is that life purpose can change over time. There is research to suggest that activities such as volunteering may have a positive impact on life purpose. There are eHealth applications that have been designed to help users define and strive toward increasing their life purpose.
“We should always be cautious about one study. But this is another piece of evidence in a growing jigsaw puzzle,” he said. As the study was not a randomized trial, in which a treatment is tested, the research can’t answer whether finding a purpose in life might extend our lives, said Oswald.
