RELIGIOUS BENEFIT
According to a metaanalysis of 42 studies involving 125,826 people, regular attendance at temple, synagogue, mosque, monastery, or church is associated with a longer life. In terms of percentages, the odds of survival for people who scored higher on measures of public and private religious involvement were 29 percent higher than for those who scored lower. Matters of spirituality aside, researchers speculate that some of this longer-life benefit may be derived from the increased social support and friendship associated with frequent attendance at religious services. It may also be that people who are actively religious take better care of their health. In any case, living a religious life seems to pay off in increased longevity.
