According to a report in the International Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry on January 28th, researchers from the University of Exeter in the UK have found that brain health and improvement in old age are related to lifelong exposure to music. A research project called "Protection" analyzed data from over 1000 adults aged 40 and above to evaluate the effects of playing musical instruments or singing in choirs on brain health. The research team reviewed the music experiences of participants and their lifelong exposure to music, combined with the results of cognitive tests, to determine whether music helps maintain brain sensitivity in future life. The research results indicate that playing a musical instrument, especially the piano, is closely related to improving the performer's memory. Continuing to play the piano in later life will bring more benefits. In addition, singing can also better maintain and maintain brain health. Overall, exposure to music can exercise the cognitive reserve of the brain. Although more research is needed to investigate this relationship, new findings suggest that promoting music education will be an important component of public health initiatives. There is considerable evidence to suggest that music group activities are beneficial for elderly dementia patients. This method can be promoted as a component of elderly health programs, thereby helping elderly people actively maintain brain health. (Lai Xin She)
