People who regularly visit museums or participate in creative activities may be aging more slowly on a biological level, according to a new study from the United Kingdom<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Researchers from University College London analyzed data from more than 3,500 adults and found that people who frequently engaged in arts and cultural activities<\/a> showed signs of slower biological aging in several DNA-based measurements.<\/p>\n

The findings were published in the journal Innovation in Aging.<\/p>\n

The study examined activities including painting, photography, dancing, singing, visiting museums and attending cultural events or historic sites<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Researchers compared participation in those activities with “epigenetic clocks,” scientific tools that examine chemical changes in DNA over time.<\/p>\n

Adults who participated more often, and in a wider variety of activities, tended to show slower aging scores compared to people who rarely engaged in arts or cultural experiences.<\/p>\n

The association appeared even stronger among adults over age 40.<\/p>\n

Researchers also noted that the effect sizes were comparable to those linked to physical activity, one of the most widely studied behaviors associated with healthy aging<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Jessica Mack, a health and wellness expert and founder of The Functional Consulting Group who was not involved in the study, said the findings reflect a growing understanding that health is influenced by more than exercise and nutrition alone<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“Arts and cultural engagement may be associated with slower epigenetic aging, with effects comparable in some measures to physical activity,” Mack told Fox News Digital.<\/p>\n

She said activities such as visiting museums and engaging with music or art may help reduce stress, improve emotional regulation and increase social connection.<\/p>\n

“These are not \u2018extra\u2019 lifestyle activities,” Mack said. “They may be deeply connected to how the body manages inflammation, stress hormones<\/a>, mood and overall resilience.”<\/p>\n

Mack added that people experiencing stress, social isolation, retirement or caregiving responsibilities may especially benefit from meaningful cultural engagement.<\/p>\n

Experts cautioned, however, that the study does not prove arts engagement directly slows aging.<\/p>\n

“This is an observational study, not an experiment,” Professor Steve Horvath of UCLA, a longevity researcher and pioneer in epigenetic aging research who was not involved in the study, told Fox News Digital.<\/p>\n

“So when researchers find that the people who go to museums have younger epigenetic age, we cannot tell whether the museum visits slowed their aging<\/a>, or whether their slower aging is what allowed them to keep visiting museums,” he said.<\/p>\n

Horvath said both explanations may be true to some degree, though he described the research as “methodologically careful” and worthy of further study.<\/p>\n

The findings remained consistent even after accounting for factors such as smoking<\/a>, income, body weight and other lifestyle habits.<\/p>\n

He added that regardless of whether arts engagement is directly slowing biological aging, staying socially and mentally active is still associated with healthier aging overall.<\/p>\n

“The prescription is the same,” he said. “Keep going.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
