Astonishing. They have some hypotheses on why this could work, for example:
> Exposure to such face-altering factors, in turn, is associated with psychological traits. Liberals, for example, tend to smile more intensely and genuinely (Wojcik et al., 2015), which, over time, leaves traces in wrinkle patterns (Piérard et al., 2003). Conservatives tend to be more self-disciplined and are thus healthier, consume less alcohol and tobacco, and have a better diet (Chan, 2019; Subramanian & Perkins, 2010), altering their facial fat distribution and skin health (Richmond et al., 2018).

- Jerrrry 3y agoYour bias is showing.
- xenospn 3y agoYeah, that can’t possibly be true.
- Upvoter33 3y agoThe conservatives I know are definitely not “healthy”
- ecshafer 3y agoI know conservatives who are healthy and conservatives who are not. I know liberals who are healthy, and liberals who are not. I think this issue is more complicated than some notion of health.
- uyzstvqs 3y agoDefinitely. The Liberalism of today is rooted in secular Hedonist ideas, while Conservatives overwhelmingly support Judeo-Christian principles. This is evident by for example the fact that Liberals largely support recreational drug use while Conservatives largely oppose it.
- latentcall 3y agoYou can oppose recreational drugs but still be unhealthy. Conservatives in my home state tend to oppose drugs but are gluttonous about junk food, alcohol, and tobacco.

- latentcall 3y agoYeah I don't buy it either. I grew up in a red state and nobody I knew was "healthy". All ate highly processed foods, drank too much on a daily basis, and smoked cigarettes. No exercise. Never went to the doctor because they didn't trust them.

- magicalist 3y ago> Conservatives tend to be more self-disciplined and are thus healthier, consume less alcohol and tobacco, and have a better diet (Chan, 2019; Subramanian & Perkins, 2010) The first one is unfortunately paywalled. The second[1] is a letter to the editor and mostly consists of the finding that people who report themselves as Republicans are more likely to answer positively to the question "Would you say your own health, in general, is excellent, good, fair, or poor?". It only speculates one of the reasons could be conservative values encouraging self discipline (it doesn't seem to entertain the possibility of any correlation between political leanings and biased self reporting).
