越来越多的证据表明音乐训练对人类大脑的潜在影响，以及对音乐体验对健康老龄化的潜在贡献的兴趣越来越大。对老年人进行这些主题的研究需要对整个生命周期的音乐体验进行全面评估，以及了解哪些变量可能与音乐训练和经验（如个性特征或受教育年限）相关。本研究介绍了一个简短的问卷，评估终身音乐培训和经验的老年人：爱丁堡终身音乐体验问卷（ELMEQ）。来自1936年洛锡安出生队列的420名参与者完成了ELMEQ，平均年龄为82岁。我们使用他们对ELMEQ的回答来解决三个目标：1）报告老年人样本中终身音乐体验的普遍性; 2）证明某些项目水平的回答如何用于模拟量化不同音乐领域经验的潜在变量（演奏乐器，唱歌，自我报告的音乐能力和音乐听）; 3）检查这些领域的非音乐（寿命）相关性。在这个队列中，431名参与者中有420名（97%）完成了问卷调查。40%的参与者报告了一些演奏乐器的终身经验，从10岁的中位数开始，演奏了5年的中位数。38%的参与者报告了一些在一组唱歌的终身经验。非音乐的儿童环境，多年的教育，儿童认知能力，女性，外向性，关节炎的历史和日常生活活动的限制较少的变量被发现与不同的领域，演奏乐器，唱歌，自我报告的音乐能力，音乐听。ELMEQ被认为是老年人的有效研究工具，可免费用于未来的研究。
There is growing evidence of the potential effects of musical training on the human brain, as well as increasing interest in the potential contribution of musical experience to healthy ageing. Conducting research on these topics with older adults requires a comprehensive assessment of musical experience across the lifespan, as well as an understanding of which variables might correlate with musical training and experience (such as personality traits or years of education). The present study introduces a short questionnaire for assessing lifetime musical training and experience in older populations: the Edinburgh Lifetime Musical Experience Questionnaire (ELMEQ). 420 participants from the Lothian Birth Cohort 1936 completed the ELMEQ at a mean age of 82 years. We used their responses to the ELMEQ to address three objectives: 1) to report the prevalence of lifetime musical experience in a sample of older adults; 2) to demonstrate how certain item-level responses can be used to model latent variables quantifying experience in different musical domains (playing a musical instrument, singing, self-reported musical ability, and music listening); and 3) to examine non-musical (lifespan) correlates of these domains. In this cohort, 420 of 431 participants (97%) completed the questionnaire. 40% of participants reported some lifetime experience of playing a musical instrument, starting at a median age of 10 years and playing for a median of 5 years. 38% of participants reported some lifetime experience of singing in a group. Non-musical variables of childhood environment, years of education, childhood cognitive ability, female sex, extraversion, history of arthritis and fewer constraints on activities of daily living were found to be associated, variously, with the domains of playing a musical instrument, singing, self-reported musical ability, and music listening. The ELMEQ was found to be an effective research tool with older adults and is made freely available for future research.
