Walking Protects Women From Cognitive Decline.
2001 MAY 24 - (NewsRx Network) -- Walking may help women keep their brains young, according to research presented during the American Academy of Neurology's 53rd Annual Meeting in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, May 5-11, 2001.
Women who walk regularly are less likely to experience the memory loss and other declines in mental function that can come with aging, according to study author and neurologist Kristine Yaffe, MD, of the University of California, San Francisco. 'This is an important intervention that all of us can do and it could have huge implications in preventing cognitive decline," Yaffe said.
For the study, researchers tested the cognitive abilities of 5,925 women who were 65 and older once and then again six to eight years later. The women who walked the least were most likely to develop cognitive decline; 24% of them had significant declines in their test scores, compared to 17% of the most active group. The least active women walked an average of about a half mile per week, while the most active group walked an average of nearly 18 miles per week. Walking included exercise and walking as a part of daily activities.
