Rosella LC, et al. - Researchers analyzed data from a population-based cohort in Ontario, Canada (N=73,904) to determine the risk of developing chronic disease and death according to life satisfaction. The investigators included 3 pooled cycles of the Canadian Community Health Survey (2003-2008) linked to 6 years of follow-up (to 2015) using population-based health databases and validated disease-specific registries. Outcomes suggested an independent association of poor life satisfaction with incident chronic disease risk and mortality. Findings, therefore, supported that interventions and programs that improve life satisfaction may enhance population health.
