Physical exercise is well-established as a key contributor to brain health across all age groups, yet further research is needed to determine the most effective exercise types for maximizing cognitive benefits in older adults. This study aimed to examine the relationship between perceived cognitive difficulties (assessed via the Patient Assessment of Own Functioning Inventory–PAOFI), various forms of physical activity (walking, light, moderate, strenuous, and strength/endurance exercises), and sedentary behavior in a sample of adults aged 60–80 years (n = 42) . Hierarchical regression modeling revealed that demographic, socioeconomic, and health-related factors, along with physical activity, accounted for 87% of the variance in PAOFI total scores. Higher scores on PAOFI Memory Scale were linked to male sex (B=-4.591, p=.003, CI95%=-7.518, -1.665), Caucasian White race/ethnicity (B = 12.538, p=.006, CI95%=3.961, 21.116), and engaging in more physical activities of light (B = 2.982, p=.006, CI95%=.905, 5.058) and moderate intensity (B=14.093, p=.004, CI95%=4.736, 23.451) . Higher scores on PAOFI Higher Level Cognitive and Intellectual Functioning Scale were linked to less time spent on sedentary activities (B=-18.885, p=.002, CI95%=-30.450,-7.321) and more walking (B = 3.007, p=.008, CI95%=.837, 5.177). These findings highlight potential benefits of promoting movement-based interventions and provide a basis for developing targeted programs for older adults.","cbCaihZPcC9cJQXq","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaihZPcC9cJQXq","pdf",728081,"English","# Background and Aim\n# Methods\n## Participants and Measures\n## Activity Types and Sedentary Behavior\n# Results\n## PAOFI Total Scores\n## Memory Scale Associations\n## Higher-Level Cognitive and Intellectual Functioning\n# Conclusions and Implications","[{\"question\":\"What was the main purpose of the study?\",\"answer\":\"To examine how perceived cognitive difficulties relate to different forms of physical activity and sedentary behavior in adults aged 60–80.\"},{\"question\":\"How were cognitive difficulties measured?\",\"answer\":\"Cognitive difficulties were assessed using the Patient Assessment of Own Functioning Inventory (PAOFI), including Memory Scale and Higher Level Cognitive and Intellectual Functioning Scale.\"},{\"question\":\"Which activity patterns were associated with better PAOFI outcomes?\",\"answer\":\"Higher PAOFI Memory Scale scores were associated with more light and moderate physical activity, while higher-level cognitive and intellectual functioning was associated with less sedentary time and more walking.\"}]","PHYSICAL EXERCISE AND BRAIN HEALTH: EXPLORING ACTIVITY TYPES TO ENHANCE COGNITION IN OLDER ADULTS | PDF",1790644422]
