In a new study, people who devoted time to cultural activities like going to art exhibits or the theater at least every few months were 31% less likely to die over the next 14 years.
"Participating in the arts should not be something you do when everything else is OK in your life," said Dr. Nicola Gill, of Health Education England, part of the U.K. health service."It should be something you do as part of everyday living. The richer your tapestry of life, the better able you are to survive and thrive."The findings were based on 6,710 U.K. adults who were, on average, 66 years old at the start.
So her team accounted for people's wealth, education level, marital status and whether they lived in urban or rural areas. And those factors did not account for the longevity edge. And, he said, there's nothing to say that people couldn't get similar benefits from other activities that get them out of the house and socializing -- whether that's seeing movies or sports, or taking a hike in the woods.
