Vaananen A et al. – High engagement in cultural activities was independently associated with decreased all–cause mortality and external causes of death after adjustment for socio–demographic factors, socio–economic status, work stress, social characteristics, diabetes, and hypertension. High engagement was also associated with a reduced risk of cardiovascular mortality after controlling for socio–demographic factors and stress. The associations with all–cause mortality and deaths from external causes remained after further adjustment for behavioral risk factors. Of the forms of engagement, solitary cultural activities were related to all–cause mortality while socially shared cultural activities were more closely linked to external mortality.
