France 24’s Entre Nous has examined research into how the arts may affect health, with presenter Delano D’Souza interviewing University College London professor Daisy Fancourt.
The discussion covers Fancourt’s book, Art Cure, which draws on scientific evidence about the arts and the brain and body.
Fancourt also discusses how research might guide efforts to optimise the arts’ potential health benefits.
The programme frames longevity as a question, but the available account gives no specific study findings or evidence that arts participation extends life.
