Abstract

During the past five years, there have been numerous studies of the relationship between handedness and longevity. In this report, I review previous contributions and use methods of survival analysis on a set of 4,448 males to determine the strength of the relationship between handedness and longevity. The results indicate that left-handers have small, yet significant, declines in survival probabilities between the ages of 65 and 85.
