Women Happy With Life Have “Happy” Bones
Older women who are satisfied with their lives have higher bone density than their unsatisfied peers, a finding that adds weight to the idea that psychological health influences physical health.
“Osteoporosis is a common disease which easily leads to bone fracture, and hip fractures in particular can have serious consequences with long-term hospitalizations and decreased health,” lead investigator Päivi Rauma, of the Bone and Cartilage Research Unit, University of Eastern Finland, in Kuopio, told Medscape Medical News.
“While life satisfaction is beneficial for overall health, focusing on subjective well-being and promoting life satisfaction can be one of the approaches that should be considered in order to decrease the adverse effect of aging on bone,” Rauma said.
