Association between serum sphingolipids and eudaimonic well-being in white U.S. adults

Abstract Emerging research has linked psychological well-being with many physiological markers as well as morbidity and mortality. In this analysis, the relationship between components of eudaimonic well-being and serum sphingolipids levels was investigated using data from a large national survey of...
