Abstract
Abstract Longitudinal effects of subjective age on adult health and survival are well-documented (Westerhof et al., 2014). This systematic review provides an updated and expanded evaluation of the state of the field. A systematic search in PsycInfo, Web of Science, Scopus, and PubMed resulted in 103 articles: 19 articles from the 2014 meta-analysis and 84 newer articles. Sixty-five articles focused on physical health (e.g., subjective health, objective health, and health behaviors), 41 studied mental health outcomes (e.g., mental health disorders, well-being, and quality of life), and 18 articles used mortality as the outcome. Important developments during the past years include new instruments, particularly multidimensional assessment of subjective aging, and a more fine-grained representation of health outcomes, including bio indicators. A major outcome is that most studies confirmed the longitudinal effects of subjective aging on health as reported previously, but on a much broader study portfolio.
