虽然书籍可以让人们接触到新的人和地方，但书籍是否比其他类型的阅读材料更有益于健康还不清楚。这项研究调查了那些读书的人是否比那些不读书的人和那些读其他类型材料的人有生存优势，如果是这样，认知是否介导了这种读书效应。该队列由全国代表性健康与退休研究的3635名参与者组成，他们提供了基线阅读模式的信息。Cox比例风险模型基于基线后12年的生存信息。在调整了相关协变量包括年龄、性别、种族、教育程度、合共病、自评健康状况、财富、婚姻状况和抑郁症后，研究人员发现，阅读书籍具有剂量-反应生存优势（HRT2 = 0.83, p< 0.0001, HRT3 = 0.77, p< 0.0001）。阅读书籍对生存优势的贡献显著大于阅读报纸或杂志（tT2 = 90.6, p< 0.0001; tT3 = 67.9, p< 0.0001）。与不读书的人相比，读书的人有4个月的生存优势，存活率为80%。在12年的随访中，与不读书的人相比，读书的人的死亡率降低了20%。认知得分是阅读生存优势的完全中介（p=.04）。这些发现表明，读书的好处包括延长读书的寿命。
Although books can expose people to new people and places, whether books also have health benefits beyond other types of reading materials is not known. This study examined whether those who read books have a survival advantage over those who do not read books and over those who read other types of materials, and if so, whether cognition mediates this book reading effect. The cohort consisted of 3635 participants in the nationally representative Health and Retirement Study who provided information about their reading patterns at baseline. Cox proportional hazards models were based on survival information up to 12 years after baseline. A dose-response survival advantage was found for book reading by tertile (HRT2 = 0.83, p<.0001, HRT3 = 0.77, p<.0001), after adjusting for relevant covariates including age, sex, race, education, comorbidities, self-rated health, wealth, marital status, and depression. Book reading contributed to a survival advantage that was significantly greater than that observed for reading newspapers or magazines (tT2 = 90.6, p<.0001; tT3 = 67.9, p<.0001). Compared to non-book readers, book readers had a 4-month survival advantage at the point of 80% survival. Book readers also experienced a 20% reduction in risk of mortality over the 12 years of follow up compared to non-book readers. Cognitive score was a complete mediator of the book reading survival advantage (p=.04). These findings suggest that the benefits of reading books include a longer life in which to read them.
