Associations between physical activity types and multi-domain cognitive decline in older adults from the Three-city cohort.

ABSTRACT: Several studies suggest that physical activity improves cognitive functions and reduces cognitive decline, whereas others did not find any evidence of a neuroprotective effect. Furthermore, few cohort studies have analyzed the different physical activity types and particularly household activities.
