92 yo, so I searched and here it is: "Winning a Nobel prize adds nearly two years to your lifespan - and it's not because of the cash that goes with it.

Research from Warwick University reveals that the status alone conferred on a scientist by the world's most famous prize is enough to prolong his life (only male laureates and contenders were studied because women tend to live longer)." https://www.theguardian.com/education/2007/jan/17/highereduc...
