Feeling younger at older age increases well-being in later life


Washington: A new study has demonstrated that older people who felt three or more years younger than their age had a lower death rate as compared to those who felt their
age or who felt more than one year older than their actual age.
The study found out that self-perceived age can reflect assessments of health, physical limitation and well-being in later life, and many older people feel younger than their actual age.
