Exercise Key To Warding Off Dementia, University of Western Australia Study Reveals
Women would benefit from being prescribed exercise as medicine, according to a QUT study that revealed moderate to high intensity activity is essential to reducing the risk of death in older women.
Exercise is one of the best ways to protect against dementia in later life and the earlier you start, the greater the effect, research suggests.
Participating in intellectually stimulating leisure activities, paid work, volunteer work or study can also help protect against memory loss and reduce the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease.
UWA adjunct clinical professor Nicola Lautenschlager, who led a review of strategies to delay cognitive decline, says there is a growing body of evidence that suggests exercise is beneficial for brain health.
