一个荟萃分析的数据，从42个独立的样本检查协会的措施，宗教参与和全因死亡率的报告。宗教参与与较低的死亡率显着相关（比值比= 1.29; 95%置信区间：1.20-1.39），这表明宗教参与程度高的人在随访时比宗教参与程度低的人更有可能活着。虽然宗教参与死亡率协会的强度变化的功能的几个调节变量，宗教参与和死亡率的协会是强大的，并在数量级上，已经到了预期的心理社会因素。结论似乎不是由于发表偏倚。
A meta-analysis of data from 42 independent samples examining the association of a measure of religious involvement and all-cause mortality is reported. Religious involvement was significantly associated with lower mortality (odds ratio = 1.29; 95% confidence interval: 1.20-1.39), indicating that people high in religious involvement were more likely to be alive at follow-up than people lower in religious involvement. Although the strength of the religious involvement-mortality association varied as a function of several moderator variables, the association of religious involvement and mortality was robust and on the order of magnitude that has come to be expected for psychosocial factors. Conclusions did not appear to be due to publication bias.
