Midlife activity predicts risk of dementia in older male twin pairs

1 Sept 2008

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: This was a prospective study of dementia to elucidate mechanisms of disease risk factors amenable to modification and specifically to determine whether midlife cognitive and physical leisure activities are associated with delayed onset or reduced risk of dementia within older male twin pairs. METHODS: The co-twin control design used prospectively collected exposure information to predict risk of...
