I was particularly interested in the study that you mentioned, which found that negative attitudes towards aging can have a negative impact on physical health, cognitive functioning, and subjective well-being. This is something that I had not considered before, but it makes a lot of sense. If we believe that aging is a negative thing, then we are more likely to focus on the negative aspects of aging and to neglect our health and well-being.

Thank you for commenting, @malos10.
I think you are absolutely right. Plus, depression is bad for the health at any age, and being depressed about being old can't be a good thing.
