Happiness May Affect Mobility Seniors who have a zest for life may have greater mobility as they age than their more discontented peers, according to a new study. The research doesnt prove that happiness extends mobility, but suggests a link between enjoyment of life and a more active and healthier old age. Researchers tracked 3,200 people aged 60 for eight years. The participants answered questions about their well-being, energy levels, enjoyment of life, ability to do day-to-day activities and how fast they walked. Only 4% of the people who enjoyed life developed problems with daily activities, compared to 17% of those who enjoyed life the least.
