Optimistic people have significantly better cardiovascular health than pessimistic
peers, a study of over 5,000 adults has found.
US researchers found that people who were the most optimistic were twice as likely to
have ideal cardiovascular health with better blood sugar and total cholesterol levels.
“Individuals with the highest levels of optimism have twice the odds of being in ideal
cardiovascular health compared to their more pessimistic counterparts,“ said lead
author Rosalba Hernandez, a professor of social work at the University of Illinois.

“This association remains significant, even after adjusting for socio-demographic
characteristics and poor men tal health,“ Hernandez said.
Participants' cardiovascular health was assessed using seven metrics: blood pressure,
body mass index, fasting plasma glucose and serum cholesterol levels, dietary intake,
physical activity and tobacco use -the same metrics used by the American Heart
Association to define heart health.

In accordance with AHA's heart-health criteria, the researchers allocated 0, 1 or 2
points -representing poor, intermediate and ideal scores, respectively to participants
on each of the seven health metrics, which were then summed to arrive at a total
cardiovascular health score. Participants' total health scores ranged from 0 to 14, with
a higher total score indicative of better health.
People who were the most optimistic were twice as likely to have ideal cardiovascular
health, and 55% more likely to have a total health score in the intermediate range, the
researchers found.
