Longitudinal associations of midlife accelerometer determined sedentary behavior and physical activity with cognitive function: The CARDIA study
Journal of the American Heart Association Jan 25, 2021
Whitaker KM, Zhang D, Gabriel KP, et al. - This study was carried out to ascertain whether cognitive function is prospectively correlated with accelerometer measured sedentary behavior (SED), light‐intensity physical activity (LPA), and moderate‐to‐vigorous–intensity physical activity (MVPA) in midlife. Researchers included 1,970 adult participants in the CARDIA (Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults) study who wore an accelerometer from 2005 to 2006 (ages 38–50 years) and had cognitive function assessments completed 5 and/or 10 years later. Via an ActiGraph 7164 accelerometer, SED, LPA, and MVPA were assessed. The findings indicate that for men, higher‐intensity activities (MVPA) may be needed in midlife to see beneficial correlations with cognition. In women, the correlations were largely nonsignificant among women.
