There is increasing evidence to suggest that physical activity has a protective effect on brain functioning in older people. To date, no randomized controlled trial (RCT) has shown that regular physical activity prevents dementia, but recent RCTs suggests an improvement of cognitive functioning in persons involved in aerobic programs, and evidence is accumulating from basic research. Future prevention of Alzheimer disease may depend on lifestyle habits such as physical activity.
越来越多的证据表明，身体活动对老年人的大脑功能具有保护作用。迄今为止，尚无随机对照试验 (RCT) 表明有规律的身体活动可以预防痴呆症，但最近的 RCT 表明，参加有氧运动计划的人认知功能得到了改善，并且基础研究也在不断积累证据。未来预防阿尔茨海默病可能取决于身体活动等生活方式习惯。
