Associations of physical activity bout duration and fragmentation with future dementia, depression, and anxiety: a multi-modal UK Biobank study

Abstract It’s unclear whether prolonged physical activity confers greater benefits on future dementia, depression, and anxiety risk than sporadic activity. Among 66,483 UK Biobank participants, we found that prolonged daily bouts of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) and lower activity fragmentation were associated with a significantly lower risk of future dementia, depression, and anxiety, independent of total physical activity.

Predicting poor performance on cognitive tests among older adults using wearable device data and machine learning: a feasibility study - npj Aging

|

| Nature Verified
Abstract Timely implementation of interventions to slow cognitive decline among older adults requires accurate monitoring to detect changes in cognitive function. Factors known to be associated with cognition that can be gathered from accelerometers, user interfaces, and other sensors within wearable devices could be used to train machine learning models and develop wearable-based cognitive monitoring systems.
