Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) represents a transition between normal aging and dementia may represent critical time frame for promoting health through behavioral strategies. Current evidence suggests that physical activity (PA) sedentary behavior are important cognition. However, it is unclear whether there differences in PA people with probable MCI without or the relationships of function differ by status.The aims this study were to examine associations differed status.This was...
Background: Current practice guidelines emphasize the use of physical activity as first-line treatment knee osteoarthritis; however, up to 90% people with osteoarthritis are inactive.
Given the world's aging population, staggering economic impact of dementia, lack effective treatments, and fact a cure for dementia is likely many years away - there an urgent need to develop interventions prevent or at least delay dementia's progression. Thus, lifestyle approaches promote healthy are important line scientific inquiry. Good sleep quality physical activity (PA) pillars aging, as such, increasing focus intervention studies aimed promoting health cognitive function in older...
Poor sleep is common following stroke, limits stroke recovery, and can contribute to further cognitive decline post-stroke. However, it unclear what aspects of are different in older adults with compared those without, whether the relationship between function differs by history. We investigated experience poorer quality than without poor attenuates performance among a history stroke. Thirty-five age- sex-matched (age: 69.86 ± 1.13 years; 51.43% female) 69.83 1.12; were respect using...
Background:Current evidence suggests physical activity (PA) and sleep are important for cognitive health; however, few studies examining the role of PA health have measured these behaviors objectively. Objective:We cross-sectionally examined whether 1) higher is associate d with better performance independently quality; 2) quality associated PA; 3) quality. Methods:We PA, subjective using Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), objective (i.e., fragmentation, efficiency, duration, latency)...
Poor sleep is common among older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and may contribute to further decline. Whether multimodal lifestyle intervention that combines bright light therapy (BLT), physical activity (PA), good hygiene can improve in MCI poor unknown.To assess the effect of a on probable sleep.This was 24-week proof-of-concept randomized trial 96 community-dwelling aged 65-85 years (<26/30 Montreal Cognitive Assessment) (>5 Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index [PSQI])....
Importance A stroke doubles one’s risk for dementia. How to promote cognitive function among persons with chronic is unclear. Objective To evaluate the effect of exercise (EX) or and social enrichment activities (ENRICH) on in adults stroke. Design, Setting, Participants This was a 3-group parallel, single-blinded, single-site, proof-of-concept randomized clinical trial at research center Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. included community-dwelling stroke, aged 55 years older, able walk...
Acknowledging the detrimental effects of prolonged sitting, this study examined an acute exercise break during sitting on executive function, cortical hemodynamics, and microvascular status. In randomized crossover study, 71 college students completed three conditions: (i) uninterrupted (SIT); (ii) SIT with a 15 min moderate-intensity cycling (MIC); (iii) vigorous-intensity (VIC). Behavioral outcomes, retinal vessel diameters (central artery equivalents [CRAE], vein [CRVE], arteriovenous...
A sedentary lifestyle offers immediate gratification, but at the expense of long-term health. It is thus critical to understand how brain evaluates rewards and health effects in context deciding whether engage moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) or behaviour (SB). In this secondary analysis a 6-month randomized controlled trial increase MVPA reduce SB among community-dwelling adults, we explored neural during an executive control task was associated with levels. At baseline, subset...
Abstract Sleep quality and physical activity (PA) appear to be interrelated; thus, by promoting one behaviour, it may possible improve the other in older adults. Examination of within‐person day‐to‐day variation PA sleep could potentially elucidate directionality association these behaviours. We measured (i.e. fragmentation, efficiency, duration latency) moderate‐to‐vigorous using MotionWatch8© over 14 consecutive days nights community‐dwelling adults ( n = 152; age range 53–101 years)....
