Higher life satisfaction correlates with lower mortality, indicating significant health benefits.
The findings suggest increased life satisfaction could enhance longevity and well-being in older adults.
Analysis utilizes a causal machine-learning approach to assess the effect on mortality rates.
Improving life satisfaction may reduce health disparities, highlighting a need for population-level strategies.

Implication

Causal analysis shows life satisfaction improves health in older adults, suggesting strategies could reduce longevity disparities.
