这项研究发现，对衰老有更积极自我认知的老年人，在23年前测量，比那些对衰老有不太积极自我认知的人多活7.5年。在将年龄、性别、社会经济地位、孤独感和功能健康作为协变量后，这种优势仍然存在。研究还发现，这种影响部分是由生活意志介导的。样本包括660名年龄在50岁及以上的人，他们参加了一项以社区为基础的调查，即俄亥俄州老龄化和退休纵向研究（OLSAR）。通过将OLSAR与最近从国家死亡指数获得的死亡率数据相匹配，作者能够进行生存分析。研究结果表明，污名化群体的自我认知可以影响寿命。
This research found that older individuals with more positive self-perceptions of aging, measured up to 23 years earlier, lived 7.5 years longer than those with less positive self-perceptions of aging. This advantage remained after age, gender, socioeconomic status, loneliness, and functional health were included as covariates. It was also found that this effect is partially mediated by will to live. The sample consisted of 660 individuals aged 50 and older who participated in a community-based survey, the Ohio Longitudinal Study of Aging and Retirement (OLSAR). By matching the OLSAR to mortality data recently obtained from the National Death Index, the authors were able to conduct survival analyses. The findings suggest that the self-perceptions of stigmatized groups can influence longevity.
