Can physical inactivity increase my chance of developing Alzheimer’s disease?

Can physical inactivity increase my chance of developing Alzheimer’s disease?
June 29, 2022SparksHealth InformationAlcoholCholesterolDepressionHypertensionSmokingTraumatic brain injury

Modifiable factors that can increase the chance of developing Alzheimer’s disease include the following:

  • health-related factors (diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, obesity, traumatic brain injury, hearing loss, social isolation and depression)
  • lifestyle factors such as physical inactivity, smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, a diet high in saturated fat and low in fruit and vegetable consumption, and low educational attainment; and
  • environmental factors such as air pollution.

It is noteworthy that addressing these factors could potentially prevent around 40% of Alzheimer’s disease cases.

Oh yes, physical inactivity can increase one’s chance of developing Alzheimer’s disease.
