MedPage Today (2/21, George) reports, “Being and remaining physically active throughout adulthood was linked with higher cognition at age 69,” researchers concluded in a study that “followed 1,417 participants in the 1946 British Birth Cohort, a long-running U.K. study of people born the same week in 1946.” The study revealed that “effect sizes were similar across all adult ages, suggesting that being physically active at any time in adulthood – even as little as once a month – was tied to higher cognition.” The findings were published online in the Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery, and Psychiatry.
