Researchers found that well-being remains stable or slightly increases with age. This finding, published in Psychological Science, suggests the curve may not be universal.

The study, based on data from over 2,100 adults, shows that cumulative social advantages lead to younger biological profiles. This effect stems from consistent relationships rather than isolated interactions.
