This article is about happiness can decrease five-year death rate (par. 7) According to Andrew Steptoe and Jane Wardle’s examining date by the English Longitudinal Study of Aging, a large survey in England (par.3) is a claim of cause which appeals to logos. They are reason from comparisons: divided the study subjects into three groups (par. 5); reason from statistic: 3.6%, 4.6%, 7.3% (par.6) The researchers, Andrew Steptoe and Jane Wardle wrote that this research is not about happy people are healthier, comparatively, it’s about positive affect or good mood is good for older people.
Although I’ve read several similar articles, this study emphasizes that our mood affects our health indeed. I think positive attitude not only important for young people but also older people especially those who suffer from illness.
