Sense of purpose in life and subjective cognitive failures

Angelina R. Sutin et al.

Summary: Having a greater sense of purpose in life is associated with better cognitive health and fewer cognitive failures in adults across different age groups, genders, races, and education levels. This association is especially strong among relatively older adults and remains significant even after accounting for depressed affect. Purpose may serve as a psychological resource that supports subjective cognition in older adults.

Sense of meaning and purpose in life and risk of incident dementia: New data and meta-analysis

Angelina R. Sutin et al.

Summary: The study found that a greater sense of meaning and purpose in life is associated with a lower risk of dementia. The researchers examined data from the UK Biobank and conducted a meta-analysis of published studies. The results showed that for every one-point higher feeling of meaning, there was a 35% decreased risk of all-cause dementia. This association was not influenced by age, sex, education, or genetic risk factors.

Angelina R. Sutin et al.

Summary: Purpose in life is associated with greater engagement in physical activity, with intrinsic motivation being a robust mediator of this relationship, while identified motivation mediates the relation with physical activity.

Purpose in Life May Delay Adverse Health Outcomes in Old Age

Patricia A. Boyle et al.

Summary: A higher level of purpose in life is associated with a later onset of Alzheimer's dementia and later mortality in older adults. This association remains significant even after controlling for sex and education level. Increasing purpose in life among older individuals may delay the onset of dementia and improve overall health.

Objectively Measured Patterns of Daily Physical Activity and Phenotypic Frailty

Amal A. Wanigatunga et al.

Summary: This study examined the association between accelerometer-derived patterns of routine daily physical activity and frailty, and found that higher amounts and intensity of daily activity, as well as lower activity fragmentation, were associated with lower odds of frailty.

Bidirectional Within- and Between-Person Relations Between Physical Activity and Cognitive Function

Andreas Stenling et al.

Summary: This study aimed to examine the bidirectional within- and between-person relations between physical activity and cognitive function. The results showed that higher levels of physical activity at baseline were associated with less decline in episodic memory recall. Positive occasion-specific within- and between-person relations were observed, with the most consistent being between physical activity and episodic memory recall.

The association between purpose/meaning in life and verbal fluency and episodic memory: a meta-analysis of >140,000 participants from up to 32 countries

Angelina R. Sutin et al.

Summary: The study found a strong association between having a sense of purpose and meaning in life with better verbal fluency and episodic memory performance, with consistent results across different demographic groups and cultural contexts. Purpose and meaning may be effective targets for interventions aimed at promoting healthier cognitive aging.

Daily Physical Activity Patterns as a Window on Cognitive Diagnosis in the Baltimore Longitudinal Study of Aging (BLSA)

Amal A. Wanigatunga et al.

Summary: This study investigated the differences in everyday movement patterns between participants with normal cognition and those with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or Alzheimer's disease (AD). The results showed that MCI/AD participants had higher activity fragmentation but similar overall activity levels compared to those with normal cognition. Additionally, MCI/AD participants had lower activity levels during waking hours and higher fragmentation in the afternoon.

Sense of purpose in life and concurrent loneliness and risk of incident loneliness: An individual-participant meta-analysis of 135,227 individuals from 36 cohorts

Angelina R. Sutin et al.

Summary: The study found that sense of purpose is negatively correlated with loneliness, and that purpose can protect against the development of incident loneliness. This association was replicated across different cohorts.

Being active for a purpose: Evaluating the bi-directional associations between monthly purpose and physical activity

Gabrielle N. Pfund et al.

Summary: This study found a bidirectional association between individuals' sense of purpose and physical activity, suggesting that a higher sense of purpose predicts more moderate physical activity and vice versa. However, only between-person associations were evident for vigorous physical activity.

Summary: This systematic review and meta-analysis examined the association between total sedentary time and cognitive function in middle-aged and older adults. The results showed a weak association between total sedentary time and cognitive function, with specific associations varying based on the measurement of sedentary time and the domain being assessed.

Summary: This study found a significant negative association between purpose in life and Motoric Cognitive Risk (MCR) syndrome, indicating that higher purpose in life is associated with a lower risk of MCR. This association was confirmed not only in the cross-sectional analysis but also in a longitudinal follow-up study lasting up to 12 years.

Association Between Brain Volumes and Patterns of Physical Activity in Community-Dwelling Older Adults

Amal A. Wanigatunga et al.

Summary: In cognitively normal older adults, greater white matter volumes in specific brain areas are associated with higher daily physical activity minutes and less fragmented activity patterns. These associations remain significant even after adjustments for various factors. Further studies are needed to explore the longitudinal relationship between brain structure and physical activity patterns with aging.

Association Between Walking Energetics and Fragmented Physical Activity in Mid- to Late-Life

Fangyu Liu et al.

Summary: Physical activity becomes more fragmented with age, and poorer energy cost and capacity may be associated with this. Higher cost-to-capacity ratio and lower energy capacity may lead to more fragmented physical activity, especially among those less active or aged >= 70 years.
