Did you know that staying active in midlife and later life could significantly lower your risk of developing dementia?

Research shows that adults who maintain regular physical activity during their 40s, 50s and beyond can reduce their dementia risk by up to ~45%. Whether it’s walking, cycling, strength training or gentle movement, it’s never too late to support your brain health through exercise 🧠💪🏼.

People who did a lot of physical activity between 45 and 64 had much lower odds of developing dementia – even when they carried a genetic risk factor.
