American scientists found that a sedentary lifestyle increases the risk of dementia.
This was reported by URA-Inform with reference to Newsyou.
It is reported that more than 100 thousand people took part in the study, who wore activity tracking devices for a week.
After six years, more than 400 of the participants had developed dementia. After adjusting for age, lifestyle, and demographics, the researchers confirmed that the risk of dementia was particularly high among those who spent sitting for more than ten hours a day, and regular exercise could not eliminate this effect.
Experts emphasize that in order to prevent this disease, it is important to recognize the symptoms of dementia in time and give up bad habits, paying more attention to physical activity. < /p>
