Physical inactivity, cardiometabolic disease, and risk of dementia: An individual-participant meta-analysis
BMJ — Kivimäki M, et al. | April 18, 2019
In this meta-analysis of 19
prospective observational cohort studies, researchers ascertained if
physical inactivity is a risk factor for dementia, focusing on the role
of cardiometabolic disease in this association, and reverse causation
bias resulting from changes in physical activity during the preclinical
(prodromal) phase of dementia. According to results, physical inactivity
was non-significantly linked to dementia among people in whom
cardiometabolic disease preceded dementia. Physical inactivity was not
related to all-cause dementia or Alzheimer’s disease in analyses that
addressed bias due to reverse causation, although an indication of
excess dementia risk was noted in a subgroup of physically inactive
people who developed the cardiometabolic disease.
