Creative ageing in Singapore : a population study on participatory arts engagement and wellbeing among adults aged 50 and above by Ma, Stephanie Hilary Xinyi

“…While anecdotal and increasing empirical evidence suggest that participatory arts can play an essential role in supporting a healthy ageing population, much less research has been conducted in Asian societies. Furthermore, despite growing interest in arts programmes for older adults in Singapore, little is known about the patterns and impact of arts engagement among local seniors. …”
