Association Between Physical Activity and Anxiety Among Hispanic/Latines at Risk for Alzheimer’s Disease
Objectives: Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) is considered a risk factor for Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Physical activity has been suggested to contribute to decreasing anxiety. However, there is minimal research examining this association in underrepresented populations at risk for AD, especially among Hispanics/Latines. Thus, the objective of this study was to examine the association between actigraphy-measured physical activity and anxiety symptoms in midlife Hispanic/Latines adults at risk for AD.
