Community choirs reduce loneliness and increase interest in life for older adults
Click on that to read the article from the University of California, San Francisco on Medical Press.
Here's what the study says:
"Overall, the researchers found that older adults who sang in a choir for six months experienced significant improvements in loneliness and interest in life. However, no substantial group differences occurred in the cognitive or physical outcomes or for health care costs."
I think 6 months is too short, and I'm sure that cognitive and physical changes would occur over time as well. What do you think?
