In the fourth and final article of this religion and medicine series, I summarize the results of a comprehensive and systematic review of research examining religion's relationship to physical health and mortality. This review focuses on pain and disability, cardiovascular disease, immune and neuroendocrine function, susceptibility to infection, cancer, and overall mortality. I also explore what these research findings mean for medical practice and suggest patient-centered applications that are sensitive to ethical concerns.
在这个宗教与医学系列的第四篇也是最后一篇文章中，我总结了一项全面且系统的研究综述结果，该综述考察了宗教与身体健康及死亡率之间的关系。这一综述聚焦于疼痛与残疾、心血管疾病、免疫和神经内分泌功能、感染易感性、癌症以及总体死亡率。我还探讨了这些研究发现对医疗实践的意义，并提出了对伦理问题敏感的以患者为中心的应用建议。
