Inactive commuting linked to better executive function in both sexes and consistent LTPA–cognition associations observed in men and women are observed.

Abstract

Highlights • Leisure-time inactivity associated with lower overall cognitive performance.• Inactive commuting linked to better executive function in both sexes.• Cognitive effects of physical activity vary by activity domain.• Consistent LTPA–cognition associations observed in men and women.

The effect of increases in physical activity on oral health and function in older adults in Singapore: A longitudinal causal inference study

Highlights • Increasing physical activity lowered poor self-rated oral health in older adults.• Self-rated oral health gains plateaued beyond 450 MET-min/week of activity.• Reducing activity worsened masticatory function in a dose-response manner.• Eliminating all activity raised masticatory impairment risk by 21%.

Divergent associations of estimated cardiorespiratory fitness with cognitive trajectories in Chinese and U.S. middle‐aged and older adults: A descriptive cross‐national comparison from CHARLS and HRS

The association between cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) and cognition may differ across populations, but cross‐cultural evidence remains limited. We explored whether estimated CRF (eCRF) shows divergent associations with cognitive trajectories in Chinese and U.S. middle‐aged and older adults.

Sitting Time and Physical Activity Correlate With Asthma Exacerbations in Adults: A Cross-Sectional Study From the Australasian Severe Asthma Network.

Lower levels of sitting time were associated with a lower risk of severe asthma exacerbations in adults. High levels of physical activity eliminated the detrimental association of sitting time with severe asthma exacerbations in adults.

[Cognitive health in older adults: validated approaches to prevent decline and preserve autonomy].

Multimodal interventions-combining physical activity, cognitive training, a healthy diet and social interaction-represent the most evidence-based approach to slowing cognitive decline in older adults living at home. This article reviews the mechanisms, risk factors, assessment tools and validated programs, in order to...

The Cog‐Aging: a 15‐year cohort study of cognition in Brazilian older adults

Prevalence of dementia is higher in low‐ and middle‐income countries (LMICs). However, longitudinal studies characterizing cognitive decline and its clinical and epidemiological predictors remain scarce in Brazil.
