蒙納許大學（Monash University）針對逾 1.2 萬名長者進行長達 11 年的研究發現，打破「唯有運動才能抗老」的迷思。

研究指出，保持社交活躍（如參加社區組織、團體活動）可降低 3% 衰弱風險；進行寫作、電腦上網或參加成人教育等「讀寫與學習任務」，更可降低 2% 至 4% 的衰弱風險（女性長者效果更顯著，可達 3%～6%）。

研究團隊呼籲政府應大力投資高齡友善基礎設施，以降低社會孤立帶來的早衰風險。

A 11-year Monash University study involving over 12,000 seniors challenges the mindset that exercise is the only way to combat aging.

Findings show that maintaining social connections (e.g., joining community groups) reduces frailty risk by 3%, while engaging in literacy and learning tasks (e.g., writing, using computers, adult education) lowers risk by 2% to 4%, with female participants benefiting most (3%–6% reduction).

Researchers call on governments to invest in age-friendly infrastructure to mitigate social isolation and promote healthy aging.
