Optimapessim

Optimists tend to live 2-7-12 years longer than pessimists.

An optimist might say that having the right outlook is healthy. A pessimist might say that they're losing 2-7-12 years of life and are therefore quite right to be pessimistic.

I can't say for SURE that people who have high-stress lives are more likely to be pessimistic but they sure die sooner and I wouldn't think they'd be MORE optimistic.
