About The Study: In this cohort study of adults in the Framingham Heart Study Offspring cohort, higher levels of midlife and late-life physical activity were associated with similar reductions in risk of all-cause and Alzheimer disease dementia. These findings may inform future efforts to delay or prevent dementia through timing interventions during the most relevant stages of the adult life course.
