Neuropsychology Abstract of the Day: Aging
CONCLUSIONS: Higher level of very late-life physical activity was associated with a lower risk of subsequent dementia in oldest-old women. These findings support future studies for late-life physical activity interventions for the prevention of dementia among oldest-old women.PMID: 23831179 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher] (Source: BrainBlog)
