Benefits of Bridge

 

Stirling University is to fund a doctorate in Bridge after a study showed that the game keeps people sharper, happier and more active in old age.  The project will examine what drives people to take up the game and keep playing throughout their lives.


Samantha Punch, Professor of Sociology, Stirling University says that as well as contributing to healthy ageing, participating in this mind sport enhances social networks and a sense of belonging to a wider Bridge community.


Exponents of Bridge today include Martina Navratilova and billionaire Bill Gates.
