people who are less happy have suicidal tendancies? Therefore, elderly people who have been fairly happy all their lives outnumber elderly people who have been unhappy? What is the scientific reasoning behind this?

This is just my opinion, no scientific reasoning. I think people who know how to deal with all the different emotions live longer. A person can't be happy all the time stuff happens people get sad/unhappy and pull out of it. People who obtain coping skills, which in the big scheme of things would keep a person balance and fairly happy would live longer and seem younger. People who have an extreme of anything can end up suicidal. Depending on what a person's definition of happy is? To answer the question, in my opinion yes I think people who are generally happy live longer. Scientifically there must be some sort of chemical reaction in the brain.

Lifespan is based on many diffrent things, but one of the biggest is the stress put on your brain during life. If you go through your life depressed or anxious, chances are good that you won't live long. If you are always happy and carefree, you'll live a while. If you really want to live a long time, laugh a lot. It's supposed to relieve stress.

I find that the people who live longest,
are the hardest working and most fit.
Maybe they are just the happier for it.

People who are happy tend to deal with stress better. People who let stress get to them have higher risk of heart disease, stroke, etc., which shortens the life span.
