The association of optimism and pessimism (assessed as separate constructs by revis…

We aim to investigate whether dispositional optimism is associated with all-cause mortality in adults 70 years and older. METHODS: Between 2010 and 2014, older adults free of serious cardiovascular disease and dementia were recruited through primary care physicians and enrolled in the Aspirin Reducing Events in the Elderly (ASPREE) clinical trial. Australian ASPREE partic…
