Relationship between different physical activity parameters and cognitive impairment in middle-aged and older adults: insights from a 4-year longitudinal study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Physical activity (PA) is crucial for the prevention and management of chronic diseases and may be associated with cognitive impairment. This study investigated the longitudinal relationship between PA from different parameters (e.g., frequency, duration, intensity, and volume) and the incidence of cognitive impairment in middle-aged and older adults.

Methods

Data were derived from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (2011-2015). A total of 891 adults aged 45 and older were included in this study. Cognitive function was assessed using the Telephone Interview for Cognitive Status criteria, focused on episodic memory and executive function. We categorized participants into normal cognition and cognitive impairment groups. Self-reported PA information
