flag Social activities like bingo cut frailty risk by up to 44% and may reverse it in older adults, study finds.

flag Playing bingo and other social activities may significantly reduce frailty and promote longer, healthier lives in older adults, according to a study of nearly 2,000 people in the UK and US. flag Researchers found that increased social engagement—like playing games, volunteering, or dining out—was linked to a 31% to 44% lower risk of frailty for each additional activity, and those who became more socially active were up to 79% more likely to reverse frailty. flag The findings, supported by the British Heart Foundation and NHS experts, highlight social connection as a key factor in healthy aging, with benefits including better nutrition, sleep, and access to care.
