It is very good to know that exercise can help keep dementia at bay, however……I wish it had been specified what the study’s definition of exercise was, exactly. Walking? Or more rigorous exercise? For a non-scientist, but medically knowledgeable person, this was an interesting but highly technical scientific study with in depth explanations I couldn’t possibly understand, ultimately meaning I had to skim through 99% of it to find the meat of it….and I still do not know how much or what kind of exercise to focus on. I do actually realize this sub is probably not for lay people, but I’m a curious sort.
