Cheerful women have less cardiovascular disease: study

I found this interesting article and wanted to share it! - Katharine

"The study, published in the August issue of Circulation, tracked more than 97,000 postmenopausal American women for more than eight years.

Women within the highest 25 percent of optimism scores had a 9 percent lower chance of developing heart disease and a 14 percent lower chance of dying of any cause, said the study.

"In addition to looking at hormones and their effect on heart disease and cancer, the study also examined psychosocial and social factors and how they affected the health of postmenopausal women," said Dr. Hilary A.
