Detailed pattern of physical activity/sedentary behavior and cognitive decline among older adults: a cohort study
Description: This study is a longitudinal study to investigate the longitudinal association between objectively-measured physical activity and cognitive function among 537 older adults living in Tokamachi City, Niigata Prefecture. Within the period of this study, the following findings were published in an international journal: (1) moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) is related to cognitive function, (2) MVPA time is related to hippocampal volume, and (3) frailty in the elderly is related to duration of sedentary activity lasting 30 minutes or longer. On the other hand, the longitudinal analysis was not completed because the follow-up survey was delayed due to COVID-19. We plan to conduct these analyses as soon as the longitudinal data are fixed.
