How much you need to walk a day, so as not to get dementia in old age Ferra.ru

Study participants wore pedometer devices for seven days. At the same time, they did not have to somehow change their usual way of life.

Subsequently, it turned out that each additional 31 minutes of moderate or vigorous physical activity per day reduced the risk of developing dementia by 21%. 1865 steps provided a 33% reduction in the risk of dementia. Interestingly, more sitting time was not associated with a higher risk of dementia. Brisk walking can serve as an example of moderate or vigorous physical activity.
