For women, being physically active throughout life appears to lower the risk of cognitive impairment in old age, a cross-sectional study showed.

Physical activity levels in the teenage years, at age 30, at age 50, and after age 65, were associated with significantly lower odds of having impaired cognition as a senior, according to Laura Middleton, PhD, of Sunnybrook Health Sciences Center, in Toronto, and colleagues.

However, being active as a teenager was most strongly associated with a lower chance of late-life cognitive impairment, the researchers reported online in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society.

People should be encouraged to exercise at early ages to lower the likelihood that they will develop cognitive impairment later in life, Middleton said in an interview.
etween physical activity levels and the likelihood of developing cognitive impairment in old age.

And, she continued, "if we're going to have exercise interventions to reduce the risk of dementia . . . it might be most important to target those people who have been inactive lifelong."
