Modifiable risk factors for dementia have proposed were, but further refinement of this information is essential for effective preventive intervention on high-risk groups targeted. Leisure time of physical activity (LTPA) especially in General and heart and circulatory health is a particularly important due to its larger impact on health. Previous studies led inconsistent evidence for the association between LTPA and dementia, possibly due to the short connection time, intensity of physical activity or population characteristics such as gender, body mass index, age or genetic risk factors of dementia.
Current knowledge of cardiovascular risk factors, aging and dementia (CAIDE) frequency study showed that those physical activity (LTPA) at least twice involved the leisure per week had lower risk of dementia compared to less active individuals. Although this protective effect in the entire study population, regardless of gender or genetic risk factors, were observed, they were particularly strong in overweight and obese individuals.
Always physically active after midlife can reduce the risk of dementia
More to stay physically active, or increasingly active mid life overweight obese at midlife can also reduce the dementia risk, especially in people, or. The results were not by socio-economic background, age, gender, genetic risk factors, obesity, weight loss, General State of health or work-related physical activity explains.
These results indicate that the window of opportunity for physical activity can extend interventions for the prevention of dementia from mid-life to older children. Results of ongoing studies, as the Finnish multicenter study can give more detailed information about the type of FINGER sink intensity and duration of physical activity interventions that cognitive can be used to avoid late-life.
CAIDE are participants from four separate and independent population-based samples in 1972, 1977, 1982 and 1987 in the North Karelia Project and FINMONICA study. It was at the beginning of the study 50 years. 1432 this study included participants from the region of Kuopio and Joensuu, the cognitive tests in 1998 and 2005-2008 visited. Survivor or selection into account bias, the analyses also among these were 3242 North Karelia/FINMONICA project participants, came the diagnoses from registers of Kuopio and Joensuu, but not the cognitive reviews with dementia conducted.
