本研究的目标是调查去剧院/电影院和艺术展览馆的人在过去一年中的各种死亡率之间的关系，包括全因死亡率、心血管疾病（CVD）、癌症和其他因素引起的死亡率。瑞典斯堪尼亚地区的公共卫生邮政调查在成人人群（18-80岁之间）进行了分层随机抽样，参与率为54.1％，本研究纳入了25,420名参与者。基线2008年调查数据与死因登记数据相关联，以创建一个具有8.3年随访的前瞻性队列。在生存（Cox）回归模型中，调查了去剧院/电影院、去艺术展览馆和死亡率之间的关联。稍微超过四分之一的人（26.5％）在过去一年中去过剧院/电影院和艺术展览馆，36.6％只去过剧院/电影院，4.9％只去过艺术展览馆，而32％两者都没有去过。在过去一年内没有去剧院/电影院与更高的全因死亡率和CVD死亡率有关。未去艺术展览馆与更高的全因死亡率和其他原因死亡率有关。在过去一年既没有去剧院/电影院也没有去艺术展览馆的情况下，与更高的全因、CVD和其他原因的死亡率有关。参加艺术和文化活动与减少CVD和其他原因的死亡率有关，但不一定与癌症死亡率有关，尽管模型不完美。

The aim of this study was to investigate associations between having visited the theatre/cinema and an arts exhibition during the past year and all-cause, cardiovascular disease (CVD), cancer and other-cause mortality.The 2008 public health postal survey in Scania, Sweden, was distributed to a stratified random sample of the adult population (18-80 years old). The participation rate was 54.1%, and 25,420 participants were included in the present study. The baseline 2008 survey data were linked to cause-of-death register data to create a prospective cohort with 8.3-year follow-up. Associations between visit to the theatre/cinema, visit to an arts exhibition and mortality were investigated in survival (Cox) regression models.Just over a quarter (26.5%) had visited both the theatre/cinema and an arts exhibition during the past year, 36.6% only the theatre/cinema, 4.9% only an arts exhibition and 32% neither of the two. Not visiting the theatre/cinema during the past year was associated with higher all-cause and CVD mortality. Not visiting an arts exhibition was associated with higher all-cause and other-cause mortality. The combination of having visited neither the theatre/cinema nor an arts exhibition during the past year was associated with higher all-cause, CVD and other-cause mortality.There is an association between attending arts and culture activities and a reduced risk of CVD and other-cause mortality but not cancer mortality, although model imperfections are possible.
