25 Aug The Role of Music in Promoting Health and Well-being: a systematic review and meta-analysis
ABSTRACT: The authors conducted a comprehensive search of peer-reviewed articles up to April 2021 from six electronic databases (Cochrane, MEDLINE, PubMed, PsycINFO, Web of Science and Scopus). Their study population only included healthy adults of 40 years and older because they wanted to see the effects of music on an adult population that would be aging. Their findings suggest that active musical participation can lead to beneficial effects on both cognitive and psychosocial functioning, whereas the positive impact of listening to music seems to be predominantly restricted to the cognitive domain. Much of this research is looking to promote music’s benefits in creating a healthier lifespan, e.g., longevity.
