An evidence map organizes reviews of music interventions for older adults, with substantial clinical and dementia-related coverage.

What was studied
A map of 67 systematic reviews spanning varied music activities, populations and outcomes.
What it contributes
The review landscape is broad and uneven. Its categories help locate more specific studies and distinguish forms of music activity.
Where the evidence stops
Reviews can contain the same underlying studies. Review-quality ratings do not establish certainty for every outcome, and this map does not isolate an effect of community band membership.
