In the @NIH newsletter! Prior work shows optimism relates to longevity in homogeneous (often White) samples. Our study, led by stellar @KogaHayami, suggests the association exists across diverse groups, with lifestyle explaining ~25% of it. @DrLewina @peterjames_7 @CKroenkeScD

New @Harvard research: "Being an optimist can extend your lifespan by 4+ years - and boost chances of reaching 90 years old" Research by @KogaHayami @HarvardChanSPH & team, published in @AGSJournal found a link between #optimism and #longevity ow.ly/7On950JA1V5

"People who are more optimistic tend to live longer than those who are more pessimistic, a new study reports." Spotlight on Dr. @KogaHayami's #optimism and longevity study in @NeuroscienceNew. ow.ly/Ec0H50JCGSK

In a study led by GSAS PhD student in Population Health Sciences Hayami Koga, higher levels of optimism were associated with longer lifespans and living beyond age 90 in women across racial and ethnic groups. @HarvardChanSPH buff.ly/3O4YKIv

“Although optimism itself may be affected by social structural factors, such as race and ethnicity, our research suggests that the benefits of optimism may hold across diverse groups,” said Hayami Koga, lead author of the study. hsph.harvard.edu/news/press-rel…

Using data from the Japan Gerontological Evaluation Study, @SakurakoSO, Dr. @_KSphs, Dr. @KogaHayami, and colleagues found that contrary to findings from Western populations, #optimism was unrelated to #longevity among Japanese older adults. ow.ly/yAJu50Io1ko

Very sad news. As a high school student wanting to become a physician, I remember being amazed when I learned that a Japanese physician was building canals in Afghanistan. “A doctor treats patients one by one, but this helps a whole village,”  #click=https://t.co/NJ3vZytvbb" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">nytimes.com/2019/12/04/wor…
