I wondered if this was a real effect. Maybe the group that is
healthier just feel more optimistic.
So I asked AI for a review of this claim.
It appears that this is indeed a valid claim.

Conclusion: A Bidirectional Synergy

While it is undeniably true that being in good physical health makes
it easier to maintain a positive attitude, the weight of evidence in
modern gerontology suggests that the relationship is a "feedback
loop." A positive mindset mitigates stress, encourages proactive
health behaviors, and preserves cognitive function through increased
engagement. Therefore, while health influences mindset, mindset is a
powerful, modifiable tool that can actually alter the trajectory of
biological aging.
