Researchers at University College London discovered that adults who regularly engage with arts and culture—visiting museums, listening to music, and reading—may be slowing their biological aging by around 4%. The findings, based on blood test data and surveys from over 3,500 UK participants, suggest that cultural activities offer health benefits comparable to exercise.
