Weekly visits to museums and reading slow down biological aging by 4%": The connection between slowing down aging and cultural activities is especially noticeable after 40 years. "Scientists from University College London have found that cultural activities may be associated with slower biological ageing. They studied data from 4,000 adults, comparing their habits - reading, listening to music, visiting museums - with blood tests and indicators of the so-called epigenetic age. It turned out that the more often people engaged in cultural activities, the slower their biological aging occurred. Those who did this at least once a week had a 4% lower aging rate and a biological age about a year younger than those who did not participate in these types of activities. The relationship stood out especially in people over the age of 40."
