为了确定中年后期心理社会和身体活力的重要预测因素，作者对 173 名 18 岁至 65 岁男性的生活进行了前瞻性研究。研究了 50 岁之前收集的生物心理社会预测因素与 65 岁时测量的三个结果变量的相关性：身体健康、心理健康和生活满意度。 50 岁之前使用镇定剂的程度是 65 岁时心理和身体健康结果最有力的负面预测因素。心理健康的另一个重要预测因素是 50 岁之前防御的成熟度。矛盾的是，温暖的童年环境对预测身体健康（而非心理健康）做出了重要的独立贡献。
In order to determine important predictors of psychosocial and physical vitality in late midlife, the authors examined the lives of 173 men prospectively studied from ages 18 to 65. Biopsychosocial predictors--gathered before age 50--were examined for their correlation with three outcome variables measured at age 65: physical health, mental health, and life satisfaction. Extent of tranquilizer use before age 50 was the most powerful negative predictor of both mental and physical health outcomes at age 65. Another important predictor for mental health was maturity of defenses before age 50. Paradoxically, warm childhood environment made an important independent contribution to predicting physical--not mental--health.
