The relationship between leisure time physical activity patterns, Alzheimer’s disease markers and cognition by James, S, Sudre, CH, Barnes, J, Cash, DM, Chiou, Y, Coath, W, Keshavan, A, Lu, K, Malone, I, Murray-Smith, H, Nicholas, JM, Orini, M, Parker, T, Almeida-Meza, P, Fox, NC, Richards, M, Schott, JM

“…There was little evidence that leisure time physical activity had direct effects on other brain health measures (all P > 0.05). However, leisure time physical activity patterns modified and attenuated the association between poorer cognitive functioning at age 70 and a range of Alzheimer’s disease-related neurodegenerative markers (Aβ status; hippocampal and whole-brain volume; cortical thickness in Alzheimer’s disease regions) (all P < 0.05). …”
