许多研究都证明了个性对健康结果的影响。然而，哪些特征与健康最相关，以及它们的影响的确切程度，在不同的研究中是不一致的。本研究使用了一个大样本(N=460,172)来复制和扩展五大结果和三个与健康相关的结果之间的关系：自我报告的健康、体重指数和物质使用。缺乏责任心预示着所有的结果，这表明责任心较弱、自制力较差的人往往报告健康状况较差，超重程度更高，使用药物的次数也更多。情绪越不稳定(高神经质)的人报告健康状况较差，倾向于寻求社会经验和回报(高外向)的人更频繁地使用药物。(C)2014 Elsevier Inc.保留所有权利。
Numerous studies have documented the effects of personality on health outcomes. However, which traits are most relevant to health, and the precise magnitude of their effects, is inconsistent across studies. The present study used a large sample (N = 460,172) to replicate and extend the relations between the Big Five and three health-related outcomes: self-reported health, body mass index, and substance use. Low Conscientiousness predicted all outcomes, indicating that individuals who are less responsible and less self-controlled tend to report poorer health, be more overweight, and engage in more substance use. Individuals who were more emotionally unstable (high Neuroticism) reported poorer health, and individuals prone to seek out social experiences and rewards (high Extraversion) engaged in more frequent substance use.
