Physical exercise at midlife and risk of dementia three decades later (2008)

a population-based study of Swedish twins

Auteur(s): Ross Andel, Michael Crowe, Nancy Pedersen, Laura Fratiglioni, Boo Johansson, Margaret Gatz

Background: With the number of people with dementia increasing, identifying potential protective factors has become more important. We explored the association between physical exercise at midlife and subsequent risk of dementia among members of the HARMONY study. Conclusion: Exercise at midlife may reduce the odds of dementia in older adulthood, suggesting that exercise interventions should be explored as a potential strategy for delaying disease onset.
