大量研究支持这样的观点：体育活动和锻炼有助于减轻年龄对身体和大脑的负面影响。这篇文献综述概述了这个快速发展的研究领域的重要发现。对针对健康老年人、体弱患者以及患有轻度认知障碍和痴呆症患者的横断面研究、纵向研究和干预研究的结果进行了回顾和讨论。这些研究结果共同表明，体育锻炼是一种有前景的非药物干预措施，可预防与年龄相关的认知衰退和神经退行性疾病。
Studies supporting the notion that physical activity and exercise can help alleviate the negative impact of age on the body and the mind abound. This literature review provides an overview of important findings in this fast growing research domain. Results from cross-sectional, longitudinal, and intervention studies with healthy older adults, frail patients, and persons suffering from mild cognitive impairment and dementia are reviewed and discussed. Together these finding suggest that physical exercise is a promising nonpharmaceutical intervention to prevent age-related cognitive decline and neurodegenerative diseases.
