Various studies have shown that physical activity is beneficial to brain health in older individuals, especially in brain regions vulnerable to dementia. However, due to the variability in physical activity measures, the dose-response relationship is still unclear, necessitating further research for better understanding.
Despite increasing evidence that physical activity (PA) contributes to brain health in older individuals, both at the level of brain structure and function, this relationship is not yet well established. To explore this potential association, a systematic literature search was performed using PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science, adhering to PRISMA guidelines. A total of 32 studies met the eligibility criteria: 24 crosssectional and 8 longitudinal. Results from structural Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) showed that PA associated with larger brain volumes (less brain atrophy) specifically in brain regions vulnerable to dementia, comprising the hippocampus, temporal, and frontal regions. Furthermore, functional MRI (fMRI) showed greater task-relevant activity in brain areas recruited in executive function and memory tasks. However, the dose response relationship is unclear due to the high variability in PA measures. Further research using objective measures is needed to better understand which PA type, intensity, frequency, and duration, has the greatest protective effect on brain health. Findings highlight the importance of PA in both cognitive decline and dementia prevention.
