Abstract

The relationship between physical activity and hippocampal volume is important; however, most studies have used questionnaires to measure physical activity. We aimed to determine whether maintaining high levels of daily physical activity measured by an accelerometer reduces hippocampal atrophy in community-dwelling adults.

The following analysis is generated by AI and may contain errors. It is separate from the authors’ abstract and is not peer review.

Research summary

Maintaining high levels of daily physical activity measured by an accelerometer reduces hippocampal atrophy in community-dwelling adults. The study addresses the impact of physical activity on brain health, which is crucial for understanding and potentially mitigating age-related cognitive decline.
