(Reduce your risk for Alzheimer’s)
Exercise, take time for tea — and get your vitamin D.
If you want to reduce your risk for Alzheimer’s disease, adopting these lifestyle habits just might help, according to several large studies presented at the International Conference on Alzheimer’s Disease in Hawaii.
The findings were the result of three large, long-term studies, including the Framingham Study, where researchers analyzed data from more than 1,200 people in their 70s. The study, which has followed people in Framingham, Mass., since 1948, was originally designed to track cardiovascular health. It is now also tracking the participants’ cognitive health.
When looking at physical activity levels, researchers found that people who engaged in moderate to heavy amounts of exercise had about a 40 per cent reduced risk of developing any type of dementia. Compared with heavy exercisers, those with the lowest levels of physical activity were 45 per cent more likely to develop dementia. The findings suggested this was a particularly strong trend among men.
“This is the first study to follow a large group of individuals for this long a period of time. It suggests that lowering the risk for dementia may be one additional benefit of maintaining at least moderate physical activity, even into the eighth decade of life,” study author Dr. Zaldy Tan, of Brigham and Women’s Hospital, VA Boston and Harvard Medical School, said in an Alzheimer’s Association news release. Continue to readmedicalxpress.com
