New research suggests that longevity is influenced not just by diet and exercise but also by personality traits. A study in the Journal of Psychosomatic Research found that traits such as being active, energetic, organised, responsible, and helpful are linked to a lower mortality risk. Specific behaviours, rather than broad personality types, better predict lifespan. Positive habits support health, resilience, and social engagement, potentially adding years to life.
