Abstract

Differences in risk factor exposure and access to prevention resources have led to unequal health outcomes for noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) globally. Recent studies elucidate the health benefits of arts participation, but no systematic reviews have focused on NCD prevention and health promotion. Here we share results of a mixed-methods systematic review that included 95 studies of arts programs, practices and activities, addressing NCD risk factors across 27 countries. We found that most reported outcomes were related to physical inactivity, unhealthy diets, mental health, and systemic, structural and social drivers of health. Our findings suggest that the arts may support NCDs prevention and health promotion by generating cultural relevance, providing opportunities for increased physical activity and social connectedness and by helping to identify and address systemic, structural and social forces contributing to health disparities and inequities.

艺术预防疾病和促进健康：系统回顾。

风险因素暴露和获得预防资源方面的差异导致全球非传染性疾病的健康结果不平等。最近的研究阐明了艺术参与对健康的好处，但没有系统的评价侧重于非传染性疾病的预防和健康促进。在这里，我们分享了一项混合方法系统综述的结果，该综述包括95项艺术项目、实践和活动的研究，涉及27个国家的非传染性疾病风险因素。我们发现，大多数报告的结果与缺乏运动、不健康饮食、心理健康以及健康的系统性、结构性和社会驱动因素有关。我们的研究结果表明，艺术可以通过产生文化相关性，为增加身体活动和社会联系提供机会，并帮助识别和解决导致健康差异和不平等的系统性、结构性和社会力量，从而支持非传染性疾病的预防和健康促进。

期刊介绍： Nature Medicine is a monthly journal publishing original peer-reviewed research in all areas of medicine. The publication focuses on originality, timeliness, interdisciplinary interest, and the impact on improving human health. In addition to research articles, Nature Medicine also publishes commissioned content such as News, Reviews, and Perspectives. This content aims to provide context for the latest advances in translational and clinical research, reaching a wide audience of M.D. and Ph.D. readers. All editorial decisions for the journal are made by a team of full-time professional editors. Nature Medicine consider all types of clinical research, including: -Case-reports and small case series -Clinical trials, whether phase 1, 2, 3 or 4 -Observational studies -Meta-analyses -Biomarker studies -Public and global health studies Nature Medicine is also committed to facilitating communication between translational and clinical researchers. As such, we consider “hybrid” studies with preclinical and translational findings reported alongside data from clinical studies.
