Voluntary Exercise Decreases Amyloid Load in a Transgenic Model of Alzheimer's Disease (2005, background): “Similarly, a prospective study (Laurin et al., 2001) also demonstrated that physical activity was protective against the development of cognitive impairment, Alzheimer’s disease, and dementia of any type, with the highest activity group showing a 60% decrease in the incidence of AD.”
Risk factors for Alzheimer's disease: a prospective analysis from the Canadian Study of Health and Aging. (2002, background): “More recently, regular physical activity has been found to be protective against cognitive impairment as well as all types of dementia, including Alzheimer’s disease, and an interaction with sex has been reported, suggesting greater protection in women than in men (45).”
Life-course perspective for physical activity and sports participation (2011, background): “For older people, regular physical activity is pictured as an important lifestyle behavior, which increases active life expectancy through its influence on chronic disease risk factors, and is associated with better mental and cognitive health [56, 57] and social integration [58].”

Neurogenesis and Exercise: Past and Future Directions (2008, background): “1999b), counteracts age-related memory decline (Kramer et al. 1999; Laurin et al. 2001; van Praag et al. 2005), delays onset of neurodegenerative diseases (Friedland et al.”
Physical activity, APOE genotype, and dementia risk: findings from the Cardiovascular Health Cognition Study. (2005, background): “In the Canadian Study of Health and Aging, physical activity was inversely associated with all-cause dementia and Alzheimer’s disease (10), but an inverse association with vascular dementia was observed for women only (45).”
Does physical activity prevent cognitive decline and dementia?: A systematic review and meta-analysis of longitudinal studies (2014, methodology): “Twelve prospective studies (15 cohorts) [22-33] were obtained from the Sofi et al.”
Neuroplasticity in old age: Sustained fivefold induction of hippocampal neurogenesis by long‐term environmental enrichment (2002, background): “Both physical and intellectual activity have a positive influence on the incidence of neurodegenerative disorders and cognitive decline.(2,4) Knowledge about the cellular basis of this effect, however, is scarce, despite a vast literature on experiencedependent changes in the brain on a subcellular,”
Physical activity and risk of neurodegenerative disease: a systematic review of prospective evidence (2008, background): “For dementia and Alzheimer’s disease outcomes we identified five high-quality studies (Laurin et al. 2001 ; Wilson et al. 2002 ; Abbott et al. 2004 ; Podewils et al. 2005 ; Rovio et al. 2005) that had used an adequate and valid assessment of physical activity and adjusted for relevant confounders,…”
Effects of Aerobic Exercise on Mild Cognitive Impairment (2010, neutral): “80 Interventions such as aerobic exercise that can markedly alter HPA axis activity 61,81 may have the potential to confer clinically meaningful cognitive benefits, particularly for older women at elevated risk of AD.”
