having a hobby and purpose helps you live longer
Life is likely to last longer if it has a purpose and seems worthwhile, new research suggests.
Scientists found that pensioners with the greatest sense of well-being were 30% less likely to die within a decade than those who were least satisfied.
Researchers measured "eudemonic well-being" - an emotional state that relates to feeling in control, doing something you think is worthwhile, and having a purpose in life - in 9,000 English people with an average age of 65.
Over the next eight-and-a-half years, 9% of people in the highest well-being category died, compared with 29% in the lowest.
Taking into account a range of factors that could influence health and life-satisfaction, participants with the highest levels of eudemonic well-being were 30% less likely to die.
On average, they lived two years longer than those in the lowest well-being group.
Study leader Professor Andrew Steptoe, director of University College London's Institute of Epidemiology and Health Care, said: "These analyses show that the meaningfulness and sense of purpose that older people have in their lives are also related to survival.
"We cannot be sure that higher well-being necessarily causes lower risk of death, since the relationship may not be causal. But the findings raise the intriguing possibility that increasing well-being could help to improve physical health.

My nephew came up to me this past weekend and said "Uncle, can I chop it up with you?"
And I said "Chop it up?:o Nephew, you dealin' cocaine and want me to chop it up for the sale?:eek:"
fortunately my cousin was there who is in his 30's and said, "naw man, thats the phrase for can we talk."
So I said "Oh, you mean you wanna rap to me about something, well lets rap a taste."
My nephew said, "Rap, Oh, thats what you old guys mean for flowin" Naw I don't wanna flow..I leave that for Lil Wayne and 'fifty..."
My cousin looked at my nephew and said "Naw man thats the phrase for... so you wanna talk about something."
Nephew: "yeah, Unc...I'm thinking about gettin a whip"
"I replied, "Whip? what you gotta kinky bitch into some satanic shit, betta' leave them kinda hoes alone!:o"
Cousin replied, Naw cuz, he means a car.
I replied "Oh a you mean a ride?"
My nephew said, "Well..yeah thats what a whip is for..to ride around.."
Me: In your ride, right?"
Nephew "What":confused:
When he told me he wanted a car (whip) and I saw a picture of it, I really told my age and I said:
"Oh yeah, that's fly" :cool:
Nephew: "Fly? naw Uncle... it aint no space ship, it's a whip." :(
Thank goodness my cousin was young enough to know his lingo and old enough to remember mines. He was like a translator for two relatives living on the same planet, but different worlds
