The study, considered one of the longest in the world on adult life, indicates that it's at 60 that one finds themselves in a state of happiness.
Several years ago, a study by Harvard University set out to determine the exact age at which one achieves happiness. After successfully conducting what is called "the world's longest study on adulthood", researchers reached their conclusions. Its number is no coincidence, as this research began in 1938. The experts involved 268 students, of whom only 19 are still alive today and are 90 years old.
"They studied the health trajectories of the participants and their life in general, including their triumphs and failures in their careers and marriages. The results provided surprising lessons, not only for the researchers but also for humanity," notes the statement from the famous American university.
The study mainly focuses on how relationships help people live a good life. "Those with strong social support experienced less mental decline with age. In this regard, the study highlights three essential aspects: being loved, having a lasting marriage, and taking care of one's body."
