It seems that reading books may have health benefits. Researchers at Yale University School of Public Health conducting an ongoing study of adults 50 and older determined that people who read books regularly had a 20% less chance of dying over the next 12 years compared with people who were not readers or those who read magazines and newspapers.
Their findings, published in the September 2016 issue of Social Science & Medicine held true regardless of health, marital status, wealth, education, or race. So, the act of reading books may add years to a life in which to read them.
