According to one study, having a high level of cardiorespiratory fitness can reduce the incidence of dementia by up to 35%, even in those who are genetically predisposed to the age-related illness.
The degree to
h oxygen reaches muscles and organs during physical exertion is known as cardiorespiratory fitness or aerobic fitness. The ability of the respiratory and circulatory systems to deliver oxygen decreases with age due to the weakening of mucles.
Aerobic workouts, such as cycling and jogging, can enhance cardiorespiratory fitness.
High cardiorespiratory fitness ratings were associated with better cognitive function and a lower risk of dementia, according to research from the Karolinska Institute in Sweden and Tianjin Medical University in China. Our research shows improved cognitive function and a lower risk of dementia are linked to increased cardiorespiratory fitness. Furthermore, according to the authors of the study published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, “high cardiorespiratory fitness may buffer the impact of genetic risk of all dementia by 35%.”
