从德国社会经济面板研究（SOEP；N = 1637；年龄为70至100岁）的已故参与者那里获取的跨度为22年的纵向数据被用于检验生活满意度在生命末期是否以及如何呈现出临终衰退。生活满意度的变化与距死亡的时长的关联比与距出生的时长（实际年龄）的关联更为紧密。多阶段增长模型被用于确定一个大约在死亡前四年的转折点，在该点，生活满意度的典型下降速率从每年 -0.64 T分数单位增加到每年 -1.94 T分数单位，增长了两倍。进一步的个体层面分析表明，较晚死亡的个体在生活满意度下降的临终阶段所经历的时间比早亡的个体更长。总体而言，有证据表明，幸福方面的晚年变化是由与死亡相关的机制驱动的，并以临终衰退为特征。
Longitudinal data spanning 22 years, obtained from deceased participants of the German Socio-Economic Panel Study (SOEP; N = 1,637; 70 to 100 year olds), were used to examine if and how life satisfaction exhibits terminal decline at the end of life. Changes in life satisfaction were more strongly associated with distance to death than with distance from birth (chronological age). Multi-phase growth models were used to identify a transition point roughly four years prior to death wherein the prototypical rate of decline in life satisfaction tripled from –0.64 to –1.94 T-score units per year. Further individual-level analyses suggest that individuals dying at older ages spend more years in the terminal periods of life satisfaction decline than individuals dying at earlier ages. Overall, the evidence suggests that late-life changes in aspects of well-being are driven by mortality-related mechanisms and characterized by terminal decline.
