Overall Conclusions

From presentation by Dr. Teresa Liu-Ambrose, PT, PhD, UBC

• Physical activity is a legitimate medical therapy for dementia prevention.

• Physical activity benefits exceed those of pharmaceutical agents.

•  Moderate physical activity is beneficial for cognitive and brain health, even among those at greater risk for dementia.

• Starting to exercise in late life is not futile:  Even those sedentary can improve function.

 .

Facts:

• No effective pharmaceutical approach is currently available for dementia.

• Benefits were not restricted to those at the highest level of physical activity.
