How Healthy and Unhealthy Lifestyle Behaviors Affect Cognitive Function—Evidence From Older Adults in Chinese Communities: Cross-Sectional Study
Our findings revealed that both avoiding harmful behaviors and actively engaging in health-promoting activities are important for cognitive health in older adults. Based on the results, we propose adopting a dual-pathway intervention model in policy making, simultaneously optimizing risk behaviors management and healthy behaviors promotion mechanisms.
