New scientific study: Healthy aging is influenced by contact with artistic activities

A trip to a museum, a theater performance, or a visit to the cinema don't just provide entertainment. According to a new scientific study, the healthy aging of our bodies can be influenced by our exposure to various cultural and artistic activities.

The study in question, published in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health, found that older people who attended cultural events more frequently had a lower physiological or biological age compared to those who rarely or never visited cultural sites.

The age written on our identification document does not always reflect the real condition of the body.

Biological age assesses how "tired" the body is, taking into account indicators such as blood pressure, lung function, muscle strength, metabolism, and various blood tests.

Researchers analyzed data from 1,899 older adults in England, who were followed for several years as part of a large national study on aging.

Participants reported how often they visited cinemas, museums, art galleries, theatres, concerts or operas. Scientists then compared this information with indicators of their biological age.
