The Associations of Physical Activity from Midlife to Late Life with Incident Dementia: The Health and Retirement Study, 1996‐2020.
Abstract
While physical activity is found to be associated with a lower risk of dementia in numerous studies, less is known whether this association varies over time. We aim to examine the potential time‐varying associations of physical activity with risk of dementia from midlife to late life.

Research summary
The paper investigates the association between physical activity and the risk of dementia over time, which is relevant to aging and age-related diseases. However, it primarily focuses on observational correlations rather than addressing the root causes of aging or proposing interventions that could extend lifespan or healthspan. The findings may contribute to the understanding of dementia risk but do not represent a significant advancement in longevity research.
