Sex Differences in the Impact of BDNF Genotype on the Longitudinal Relationship between Physical Activity and Cognitive Performance.

Gerontology - 1 Jan 2018

Watts Amber, Andrews Shea J, Anstey Kaarin J

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Physical activity may preserve cognitive function in older adults, but benefits vary by sex and genetic factors. OBJECTIVE: We tested the longitudinal association between physical activity and cognitive performance to de termine whether a common genetic polymorphism for brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF Val66Met) moderated this effect. METHODS: In a 12-year longitudinal population-based sample...
