Singing, playing, or listening to music may provide a substantial boost to health-related quality of life, according to a systematic review and meta-analysis of 26 studies by Aussie researchers. The team found that music provides a clinically significant improvement to mental health over time, a crucial factor for determining a person's health-related quality of life, or wellbeing. They suggest that the changes in mental quality of life were around the same level as exercise and weight loss, but suggest that more research is needed to clarify the best way to harness the power of music in specific clinical and public health scenarios.
