I found this article on the Time Magazine website. It states that people who have a happier disposition, nicer, and also smarter have a better chance of living longer. We talked a lot in class during the centenarian film about attitude and how that plays a large role in longevity. This article ties into that a lot. But it also talks about IQ being a huge determinant of later health. One part that stuck out a lot to me was that people with a lower IQ were more likely to have disorders that stem in large part from genes. I wasn't aware that there was a correlation, or maybe even causation between intelligence and lifespan.
