Having a purpose in life has been nominated consistently as an indicator of healthy aging for several reasons including its potential for reducing mortality risk. The current study sought to extend these findings by examining whether purpose promotes longevity across the adult years, using data from the longitudinal MIDUS sample (mean age = 46.92 years, SD = 12.94). Proportional hazard models demonstrated that purposeful individuals lived longer than their counterparts during the 14 years after assessment, even when controlling for other markers of psychological and affective well-being. Moreover, these longevity benefits do not appear to be conditional on either the participants’ age, how long they lived, or whether they had retired from the workforce. In other words, having a purpose appears to widely buffer against mortality risk across the adult years.
