Great work from postdoc Paula Iso-Markku! Physical activity as a protective factor for dementia and Alzheimer’s disease: systematic review, meta-analysis and quality assessment of cohort and case–control studies bjsm.bmj.com/content/early/…

A Finnish twin study suggests that the deteriorative effects of cardiovascular risk factors on late-life cognition are stronger in individuals with lower education compared to those with higher education. @vuoksimaa helsinki.fi/en/news/health…

Suomalainen kaksostutkimus osoitti, että sydän- ja verisuonitautien riskitekijöiden vaikutus ikääntyneiden muistiin korostuu vähän koulutetuilla. Löydös korostaa lapsuuden ja nuoruuden koulutuksen merkitystä dementian ennaltaehkäisyssä. @Vuoksimaa #tiede helsinki.fi/fi/uutiset/ter…
