Beyond 126 min/week, every additional 30 min of exercise a week was correlated with 4% additional risk reduction.
The “first 35 minutes/week” of moderate and vigorous activity were correlated with the steepest risk-reduction of 41%
more activity further reduces the risk.
with 35-70, and 70-140 min/week correlating to larger risk reductions of 60 and 63% respectively.
35 minutes a week of exercise reduced dementia risk by 41%
those with a “weekend warrior” pattern of physical activity—defined as achieving ≥150 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity per week with more than 50% of their activity occurring on 1–2 days—had lower risks of several brain disorders compared to adults not meeting the physical activity recommendations.
A 21–45% reduction in the risk for dementia, stroke, Parkinson’s disease, depressive disorder, and anxiety disorder were observed for adults who concentrated their physical activity levels into just a few days per week.
