A mountain of human epidemiological data demonstrates that physical activity and fitness correlate with a reduced incidence of age-related disease, a slower age-related decline of function. Adding to that, researchers here show that cumulative physical activity over the long term correlates with slowed loss of cognitive function. While human data can only reliably produce correlations, animal studies convincingly demonstrate that exercise does in fact improve long-term health. It remains one of the most robust interventions for slowing the aging process, the bar to beat when developing novel therapies to treat aging.

Given the lack of effective pharmacological interventions for dementia patients, modifying risk factors associated with dementia has become a critical area of research. Cur…
