Researchers at the University of Michigan used the The Health and Retirement Study (HRS), which began in 1992, to conduct analysis using data from 7,000 subjects aged 50 and older. In this survey, the subjects asked how to write about the sentences 'I plan for the future and enjoy enjoying the plan' and the sentences 'It's not important for my daily activities.' After evaluating whether they felt or not, the researchers scored the degree of 'life purpose' that the subjects had. Of the subjects, 776 died during the study, and the researchers compared the above “purpose of life” score with the mortality rate of 5 years after the subjects responded.

As a result, it was found that subjects with low objective scores in life had twice as much mortality during follow-up as those with high scores. In addition, subjects with low scores were most likely to die, particularly due to heart and blood vessel problems. The results did not change even considering factors considered to have an impact, such as whether the subject was depressed.

'It looks like there is no downside to having the purpose of life, and it seems that there is a downside,' said Aliya Alimujiang, Ph.D. student at the University of Michigan.

Studies have shown that what is the key to happiness and health is that you feel that your life has a meaning , and this field has been the focus of attention in recent years. For example, inflammation is associated with premature death and disease, but it has been found from past studies that well-being such as 'the purpose of life' reduces gene expression that triggers inflammation. Alimujiang says that the results of this study suggest that the reduction of inflammation by having a life purpose is linked to longevity.

On the other hand, there is a limit to the fact that this research does not exclude the possibility of 'reverse causality', that is, 'chronic diseases and life-related diseases have robbed the purpose of life.' A follow-up analysis that excludes patients with chronic or life-threatening diseases has shown similar results, but it can not completely rule out the possibility of chance, Alimujiang said.
