Effects of intellectual habits, leisure and physical activity over the age of onset and evolution of dementia due to Alzheimer's disease

Abstract

The objective of this paper is to investigate whether intellectual, physical or leisure activities have an impact over age of onset or progression of Alzheimer's disease. We concluded that subjects who were concurrently engaged in various intellectual, physical and leisure activities earlier during their lives were less likely to develop dementia due to Alzheimer's disease before turning 80 years-old.
