Study Finds Regular Cultural Activities Associated with Slower Physiological Ageing in Older Adults
A recent study links frequent cultural activities like visiting museums, cinemas, theatres, and concerts to slower physiological ageing in adults over 50. Researchers analyzing data from the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing found that participants engaging regularly in such activities had a physiological age approximately 2 to 3 years younger than less active peers. This association persisted after accounting for factors like income, education, and health, suggesting cultural engagement may contribute to healthier ageing.
