Highlights
- Little is known about the association between facial attractiveness and longevity
- We analyze how attractiveness based on yearbook pictures is linked to longevity
- We find that the least attractive 1/6th had a significantly Higher Hazard of mortality
- The least attractive 1/6th of women lived almost 2 years less than others at 20.
- The least attractive 1/6th of men lived almost 1 years less than others at 20.
On average, being more attractive means being more successful. Being successful leads to more money. More money leads to being able to afford more food, less stress due to more economic stability, and more access to better healthcare.
Obviously not 100% guaranteed, but kind of obvious when looking st averages.
