The study examines how certain personality characteristics or dimensions may be associated with an increased or decreased risk of mortality in aging cohorts. By analyzing mortality risk in relation to personality traits, the study aims to provide insights into the role of individual differences in personality in predicting longevity and overall health outcomes.
