According to a new study led by the Herbert Wertheim School of Public Health and Human Longevity Science at the University of California San Diego, older women who engage in more daily walking and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity have a lower likelihood of developing mild cognitive impairment
Dementia is a progressive brain disorder that affects memory, thinking, behavior, and the ability to perform everyday tasks. It is a group of symptoms that can be caused by various underlying conditions, including Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, and Huntington’s disease. Dementia often starts with mild memory loss and gradually worsens over time, affecting a person’s quality of life and their ability to live independently.
. They reported that among women 65 years or older, each additional 31 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity per day was linked to a 21% lower risk of developing mild cognitive impairment or dementia. Additionally, each additional 1,865 daily steps was associated with a 33% lower risk. While there are several types, dementias are debilitating neurological conditions that can cause loss of memory, the ability to think, problem solve or reason. Mild cognitive impairment is an early stage of memory loss or thinking problems that is not as severe as dementia.
