Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The investigators plan to fill this gap by studying how different arts participation affect health outcomes.
The overall aim is to study how arts engagement helps older adults remain active and influences physical, psychological, and emotional functioning.
