Highlights

  • Little is known about the association between facial attractiveness and longevity
  • We analyze how attractiveness based on yearbook pictures is linked to longevity
  • We find that the least attractive 1/6th had a significantly Higher Hazard of mortality
  • The least attractive 1/6th of women lived almost 2 years less than others at 20.
  • The least attractive 1/6th of men lived almost 1 years less than others at 20.

Any relationship found with cause of death?

And hopefully they controlled for parental income...

If you read the paper...

This finding remained robust to the inclusion of covariates describing high-school achievement, intelligence, family background, earnings as adults, as well as mental and physical health in middle adulthood.
