Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The apolipoprotein E ε4 (APOE ε4) allele, a major genetic risk factor for Alzheimer's disease, is associated with early atrophy in the precuneus and posterior cingulate cortex. Whether physical activity can mitigate this atrophy in high-risk APOE ε4 carriers remains unclear. This study aimed to determine whether physical activity can reduce such neurodegenerative changes in older adults carrying this...
