People living with dementia have a ⬆️ risk of falling. A systematic review by Deborah Jehu, PhD and Aging, Mobility, and Cognitive Health Lab shares the evidence of exercise on falls in people living with dementia and that RCTs need to be powered for falls.

Last Friday we got news that our CIHR Catalyst Grant was funded! We'll explore how individual and neighbourhood-SES impact the relationship between healthy activity behaviours and cognition. Fantastic work, team! Nárlon C Boa Sorte Silva, PhD Aging, Mobility, and Cognitive Health Lab and collabs Ryan S. Falck, PhD CSCS Linda Li

Is there a 🧠 - muscle connection? Sarcopenia, (muscle mass and function ⬇️) is associated with cognitive decline.

What happens to our 🧠 w/ physical inactivity? Postdoc Guilherme M. Balbim studied that question.

Adults who exercised (🏋🏻) during bed rest (🛌) had better cognition than no 🏋🏻 during 🛏️. The benefits of 🏋🏻 during 🛏️ were greater for females than males.
