Physical activity recommendations to protect against temporal lobe atrophy in older adults at risk for AD

Acoording with the authors, Individuals at-risk for AD experience accelerated rates of brain atrophy. These results suggest that regular engagement in PA at or above PAR could attenuate this decline.
