Optimism is modifiable and may be associated with healthy ageing. We aim to investigate whether dispositional optimism is associated with all-cause mortality in adults aged 70 years and older. Between 2010 and 2014, older adults free of serious cardiovascular disease and dementia were recruited through primary care physicians, and enrolled in the Aspirin Reducing Events in the Elderly (ASPREE) clinical trial. Australian ASPREE participants were invited to participate in the ASPREE Longitudinal Study of Older Persons (ALSOP) that was running in parallel to ASPREE. Optimism was assessed at baseline using the Life Orientation Test – Revised (LOT-R). The association between optimism, divided into quartiles, and all-cause mortality was assessed using Cox Proportional Hazard models. 11,701 participants (mean age: 75.1 years, SD 4.24; 46.6% men) returned the ALSOP Social questionnaire and completed the LOT-R. During the median 4.7 years follow-up, 469 deaths occurred. The fully adjusted model was not significant (HR 0.78, 95% CI 0.58-1.06). There was evidence that age was an effect modifier of the association between optimism and longevity. Higher optimism was associated with lower mortality risk in the oldest individuals only (77+ years) (HR 0.61, 95% CI 0.39-0.96). We observed no independent relationship between optimism and all-cause mortality in the total sample, although optimism appeared to be associated with lower risk among oldest old (adults aged 77 years and over).
