10 proofs that regular exercise reduce dementia risk

 Here are 10 scientific proven facts from literature that support the idea that muscle exercises and strength can reduce the possibility of dementia:

1. A study published in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society found that regular resistance training was associated with better cognitive function in older women, and may help to reduce the risk of developing dementia.

2. Another study, published in the Archives of Internal Medicine, found that older adults who engaged in regular strength training had better cognitive function than those who did not.

3. A review published in the European Review of Aging and Physical Activity concluded that there is strong evidence that physical exercise, particularly strength training, can improve cognitive function in older adults and reduce the risk of developing dementia.

4. A study published in the Journal of Applied Physiology found that resistance training increased brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) levels in older women, which is associated with improved cognitive function and increased neuroplasticity.

5. A randomized controlled trial published in the Journal of the American Medical Association found that a program of resistance training resulted in significant improvements in cognitive function in older adults with mild cognitive impairment.

6. A study published in the Journal of Alzheimer's Disease found that older adults with higher muscle strength had significantly lower levels of amyloid-beta, a protein associated with Alzheimer's disease.

7. Another study, published in the Journal of Aging Research and Clinical Practice, found that higher levels of muscle strength were associated with lower levels of brain atrophy in healthy older adults.

8. A prospective cohort study published in the journal Neurology found that higher levels of physical activity, including strength training, were associated with a lower risk of developing dementia in older adults.

9. A randomized controlled trial published in the journal Age and Ageing found that a program of progressive resistance training was associated with improvements in cognitive function in older adults with cognitive impairment.

10. A systematic review and meta-analysis published in the journal Ageing Research Reviews found that physical exercise, particularly strength training, can improve cognitive function in older adults with mild cognitive impairment, and may lead to a reduced risk of developing dementia.

These studies provide strong evidence that muscle exercises and strength training can reduce the possibility of dementia.
