Activity energy expenditure and incident cognitive impairment in older adults
Samenvatting
Studies suggest that physically active people have reduced risk of incident cognitive impairment in late life. However, these studies are limited by reliance on subjective self-reports of physical activity, which only moderately correlate to objective measures and often exclude activity not readily quantifiable by frequency and duration. The objective of this study was to investigate the relationship between activity energy expenditure (AEE), an objective measure of total activity, and incidence of cognitive impairment.Literatuurverwijzing: Middleton, L.E., Manini, T.M., Simonsick, E.M., Harris, T.B., Barnes, D.E., Tylavski, F., ...
