Association between attending cultural events and all-cause mortality : a longitudinal study with three measurements (1982–2017)
(2023) In BMJ Open 13(2).- Abstract
Objectives To examine the association between cultural attendance and all-cause mortality. Design A longitudinal cohort study over 36 years (1982-2017) with three 8-year interval measurements of exposure (1982/1983, 1990/1991 and 1998/1999) to cultural attendance and a follow-up period to 31 December 2017. Setting Sweden. Participants The study included 3311 randomly selected individuals from the Swedish population with complete data for all three measurements. Primary outcome measurements All-cause mortality during the study period in relation to level of cultural attendance. Cox regression models with time-varying covariates were used to estimate HRs adjusted for potential confounders. Results The HRs of cultural attendance in the... (More)

Setting Sweden. Participants The study included 3311 randomly selected individuals from the Swedish population with complete data for all three measurements. Primary outcome measurements All-cause mortality during the study period in relation to level of cultural attendance. Cox regression models with time-varying covariates were used to estimate HRs adjusted for potential confounders. Results The HRs of cultural attendance in the lowest and middle levels compared with the highest level (reference; HR=1) were 1.63 (95% CI 1.34 to 2.00) and 1.25 (95% CI 1.03 to 1.51), respectively. Conclusion Attending cultural events has a suggested gradient, the lesser cultural exposure the higher all-cause mortality during the follow-up.
