These ndings are supported by individual studies in the US (n=16,043) 13 , Japan (n=37,627) 14 , UK (n=8,780) 15 , and China (n=6,287) 16 showing concurrent and longitudinal relationships (three to 12 years follow-up) between other types of hobbies such as community groups, arts, and social clubs and lower incidence and prevalence of depression in older adults. ...
