Abstract

Age-related cognitive decline poses challenges to healthy ageing. Physical activity (PA), sedentary behaviour (SB) and sleep have been linked to cognition, yet much evidence is cross-sectional and fails to account for the interdependent nature of these 24-h movement behaviours. This observational study applied a compositional approach to investigate longitudinal associations between 24-h movement behaviours and cognition in cognitively healthy adults.

Research summary

The paper investigates the longitudinal associations between 24-hour movement behaviours and cognitive function in older adults. This research is relevant as it explores factors that may influence cognitive health in aging, addressing aspects of healthy aging rather than merely treating age-related symptoms.
