Why Are Healthy Older People Happier?

According to This Emotional Life, a three-part PBS series, older people with generally good health tend to be happier because they know they are mortal and are going to die, and they therefore focus on their relationships. However, maybe this just pertains to older people in the U.S., who receive social security checks and Medicare. Maybe older people in the Sudan don't feel the same.
