An analysis published online in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health suggests higher levels of cultural engagement are significantly associated with lower physiological aging.

Aging is universal, but not everyone experiences it in the same way. A person's physiological age--a measure that reflects how well the body functions--can differ from their chronological age.

Cultural engagement, such as going to the cinema, museum or theater, has been widely associated with improved health outcomes and enhanced well-being among older adults.

But few studies have directly examined the relationship between cultural engagement and physiological aging or related markers.

Researchers from the Institute of Science Tokyo in Japan believe they have conducted the first longitudinal study examining the association between cultural engagement and physiological age while controlling for unmeasured confounding factors that do not change over time.

2. Yup. But dancing, and singing, especially in a group with others, really works wonders
