Study examines cultural engagement, MH in older adults

Cultural activities such as attending museums, concerts and other arts events have been linked with better mental health, but much of the evidence has relied on people reporting their own symptoms or diagnoses. Less is known about whether lack of cultural engagement is associated with mental disorders serious enough to be recorded in hospital care, new research suggests.

Abstract

Cultural activities such as attending museums, concerts and other arts events have been linked with better mental health, but much of the evidence has relied on people reporting their own symptoms or diagnoses. Less is known about whether lack of cultural engagement is associated with mental disorders serious enough to be recorded in hospital care, new research suggests.
