KTV has become a popular form of entertainment, and people like to gather a few close friends to sing in karaoke rooms during their spare time. Some friends think that they can't carry a tune and are too embarrassed to open their mouths even when they're there.

Researchers compared two groups of seniors aged over 65 who were actively involved in social activities. One group sang weekly under the guidance of a professional conductor, while the other group continued participating in various regular activities but did not join a choir. After one year, the first group of seniors was much healthier than the second group. The singing group visited doctors less frequently, consumed fewer medications, and were less likely to fall.
