Summary

Older adults, defined as 65 years or older, are increasing in number and representing a larger part of Canadian population. Assessing and addressing the needs of this growing number of individuals is essential. Practicing art and/or being involved in cultural programs could enhance health and quality of life of older adults. The overall objective of the proposal is to describe the characteristics (i.e.; socio-demographic, health condition and quality of life) and their changes in older adults participating in the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts (MMFA; Quebec, Canada) art activities program called "Les Beaux Jeudis". An observational, prospective, cohort study, before and after participation in MMFA art activities program "Les Beaux Jeudis" will be performed.
