| Title |
Brain Fitness Activities and Health Among Older Female Senior Centre Participants in Montreal, Quebec
|
| Abstract |
The author explores the influence of brain fitness activities on mental and physical health among older women. Data were collected from nine French and English senior centers in Montreal. A self-administered survey was used among a sample of 257 women to access brain fitness activities on the health indicators. Multivariate analysis (MANOVA) with post hoc Bonferroni t tests revealed that aerobics, strength exercises, career decisions, working for pay, participating in computer labs, learning new languages, group work, and listening to speakers are significantly related to self-reported health and chronic conditions. Laughing together, career decisions, working together on a project, and strength exercises were significantly related to the mental health indicators of overall feelings, happiness, and an interesting life.
