Women who perform regular exercise from the age of 40, reduce up to 90% Alzheimer According to a study published in a scientific journal. In addition, experts recommend activity especially from median age.
A study published on March 14 at the Neurology magazine“Midlife Cardiovascular Fitness and Dementia,” said women with a high physical aptitude in the middle age were almost 90% less likely to develop dementia decades later.
Alzheimer’s in women: the importance of regular exercise
The study measured the cardiovascular aptitude of women based on an exercise test. The surgeon Steven Gundry referred to the importance of exercising but also to the need to carry out different activities.
Gundry lists small actions such as walking the dog or making gardening, since “what matters is to keep the body in progress”, in dialogue with the avant -garde.
About 191 women were examined, with an average age of 50, through a bicycle test. According to this capacity, they were divided into three groups:
- 40 women met the criteria for a high level of physical aptitude
- 92 were in the average physical aptitude category
- 59 In the low physical aptitude category.
During the next 44 years, women underwent dementia tests six times.
The results suggested that women who developed dementia and remained active, developed the disease an average of 11 years later than women who did not exercise regularly.
“These findings are exciting because it is possible that improving the cardiovascular aptitude of people in the middle age can delay or even prevent dementia,” said the author of the study Helena HörderPHD, from the University of Gothenburg, in Gothenburg, Sweden.
