Longitudinal Bidirectional Associations Between Physical Activity and Cognitive Ability in Older Adults Across the UK, US, and China.
Abstract
Physical activity (PA) has been linked to better cognitive ability (CA), but the bidirectionality of this association and the role of activity intensity remain unclear. We aimed to examine bidirectional longitudinal associations between PA and CA across three national cohorts.

Research summary
The paper claims that there are bidirectional longitudinal associations between physical activity and cognitive ability in older adults. This research is relevant as it explores the relationship between physical activity and cognitive function, which are critical factors in understanding and potentially mitigating age-related decline.
