Science Says This Is the Happiest Age

Despite of the physical ravages of age, older people are actually happier than younger adults.

So finds a new study, published in the Journal of Clinical Psychiatry, in which researchers analyzed data collected from a random sample of 1,546 people from ages 21 to 99 in San Diego. After a phone interview, the people in the study filled out a long survey asking about their physical, cognitive and mental health.
