Associations between frequency of physical exercise and global cognition among community‐dwelling Latino older adults from the Boston Latino Aging Study

A higher frequency of weekly physical activity was linked to better global cognition among older Latino adults, highlighting the protective role of regular physical activity in enhancing cognitive performance and reducing cardiovascular risk within this population. Our findings support the inclusion of physical activity as an integral part of Alzheimer's prevention strategies for Latinos. Future longitudinal studies with larger, more diverse samples and objective PA measures is needed to further elucidate the relationship between physical activity and cognition in Latinos and other ethno-racially diverse groups.

Abstract

A higher frequency of weekly physical activity was linked to better global cognition among older Latino adults, highlighting the protective role of regular physical activity in enhancing cognitive performance and reducing cardiovascular risk within this population. Our findings support the inclusion of physical activity as an integral part of Alzheimer's prevention strategies for Latinos. Future longitudinal studies with larger, more diverse samples and objective PA measures is needed to further elucidate the relationship between physical activity and cognition in Latinos and other ethno-racially diverse groups.
