The decline in life satisfaction following age 70 may be due to physical illnesses or poor physical performance, deteriorated health and diminished social contacts, including the deaths of loved ones, Bu\u0308cker said.<\/p>\n<p>Positive emotional states, however, continually decline from the age of nine until the age of 94. While negative emotional states fluctuated slightly between ages 9 and 22, then declined until age 60 before increasing again.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOverall, the study indicated a positive trend over a wide period of life, if we look at life satisfaction and negative emotional states,\u201d Bu\u0308cker said, summarizing the results.<\/p>\n<p>The researchers\u2014who are from the German Sport University Cologne, Ruhr University Bochum, Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz and the universities of Bern and Basel in Switzerland\u2014examined the subjective well-being over the entire lifespans of 460,902 participants.<\/p>\n<p>From that group, they pulled 443 samples and examined people\u2019s descriptions of how they felt about themselves during different stages of their lives.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/namibia\">Namibia<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Namibia.
