Health-related factors associated with participation in creative hobbies by Australian women aged in their eighties
Background: Population-based epidemiological studies can contribute to the spectrum of research evidence regarding the potential role of the arts in improving health and well-being among older people. To date, these studies are uncommon. The aim of the current study was to investigate health-related factors associated with participation in creative hobbies in women aged in their eighties living in Australia. Method: Descriptive and regression analyses were performed on data from the Australian Longitudinal Study on Women's Health 2008 postal survey of women born 1921–1926 (n = 5470). Results: Creative hobbies were undertaken by 52.7% of the sample and positively associated with physical health (IADL), health-related quality of life (general health, social functioning) and other social and demographic indicators. Conclusion: The relationship between participation in creative hobbies and health in older women is likely to be complex and influenced by many factors including individual physical capacity and independence as well as access to art-making activities.

Painting pictures and playing musical instruments: Change in participation and relationship to health in older women
Aim: To explore how changed participation in painting pictures or playing a musical instrument is related to change in physical and mental health in older women. Method: Women enrolled in the 1921–1926 birth cohort of the Australian Longitudinal Study on Women's Health were surveyed in 2005 and 2008. Changed participation in painting pictures or playing a musical instrument was considered in relation to changes in social activity, social support, health status and health‐related quality of life. Results: Data were available for 5058 women. Improvements in instrumental activities of daily living (odds ratio (OR) 1.1, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.0–1.2; P = 0.004) and role limitations due to emotional factors (OR 1.6, 95% CI 1.0–2.5; P = 0.002) were associated with starting participation. Decline in mental health‐related quality of life (OR 4.1, 95% CI 2.3–7.2; P < 0.0001) was associated with stopping. Conclusion: Changed participation was associated with change in functional capacity and tied to emotional well‐being.
