Model reveals mental health gains outweigh physical health in predicting life satisfaction

In the open-access journal PLOS Global Public Health, Steve Haake from Sheffield Hallam University and colleagues present a model for evaluating life satisfaction. They demonstrate their model using participants in a weekly running event as a case study, finding that increases in health, especially mental health, most strongly predict improvements in life satisfaction.
