Older adults report higher psychological well-being than younger adults. Those highest in well-being also have the lowest risk of mortality. If those with lower well-being die earlier, it could affect the appearance of developmental change in well-being. In adults aged 50 and older (N = 4,458), we estimated effects of differential mortality on life satisfaction by imputing life satisfaction, adjusting for attrition due to death, or estimating life satisfaction using pattern-mixture modeling. There was an increase in life satisfaction with age; however, differential mortality affected the elevation of the curve. Observed life satisfaction, particularly above age 70, is affected by differential mortality. (PsycINFO Database Record
老年人报告的心理健康水平高于年轻人。幸福感最高的人死亡风险也最低。如果幸福感较低的人更早死亡，可能会影响幸福感发展变化的表象。在50岁及以上的成年人中（N = 4,458），我们通过推算生活满意度、调整因死亡导致的损耗或使用模式混合模型估计生活满意度，来估计差异死亡率对生活满意度的影响。生活满意度随年龄增长而提高；然而，差异死亡率影响了曲线的上升。观察到的生活满意度，尤其是70岁以上的，受到差异死亡率的影响。（PsycINFO数据库记录）
