Two new studies published Friday in the Journal of Alzheimer's Disease have shown the beneficial effects of exercise in the prevention of Alzheimer's disease.
Both studies were conducted by researchers from the UCLA Medical Center and the University of Pittsburgh. Led by Cyrus Raji, the team looked at 876 patients with an average age of 78 who were taking part in the Cardiovascular Health Study, which took place over a 30-year period and across four different research sites in the U.S.
