The secret to a healthy old age? Stay in control of your anger
Study
Results
In that age category, anger increased the risk of chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, cancer, arthritis or type 2 diabetes. At the same time, the chance of a high concentration of the inflammatory factor interleukin-6 was higher as the eighty-pluses experienced more anger.
The Canadians were able to calculate that anger deteriorated health through the increase in interleukin-6.
Conclusion
"Younger seniors may be able to use that anger as fuel to overcome life's challenges and emerging age-related losses and that can keep them healthier. Anger becomes problematic for adults once they reach 80 years old, however, because that is when many experience irreversible losses and some of life's pleasures fall out of reach."
For that group, it would be better to let go of anger, Barlow thinks. "If we better understand which negative emotions are harmful, not harmful or equally beneficial to older people, we can teach them how to cope with loss in a healthy way. This may help them go or their anger."
