“Dementia study links your risk with your fitness level,” by Jacqueline Howard, CNN

Quote:

“Your stamina — or the time it takes for you to reach peak exhaustion during exercise — can be tied to your dementia risk, and a new study reveals how. The study, published Wednesday in the medical journal Neurology, found that women with high cardiovascular fitness, or high stamina, had an 88% lower risk of dementia than women who were moderately fit.”

LTC Comment (from Stephen A. Moses, President, Center for Long-Term Care Reform):  All right, ladies. Time to hit the gym.
