Walking as few as 3,000 steps a day could slow the progression of Alzheimer's disease in at-risk older adults, delaying cognitive decline by up to seven years, new researh has found. A 14-year study has found that even modest physical activity appears to protect against the brain changes and decline linked to the condition. Researchers [...]
A lack of free time could be raising dementia risk, with researchers calling for action on ‘temporal inequity’ to protect brain health. A new perspective article from the University of New South Wales (UNSW) in Australia argues that ‘time poverty’ – not having enough discretionary time – may limit people’s ability to prevent dementia, particularly [...]
