Exercise Tied to Delayed Damage in Gene-Driven Young-Onset Dementia
Physical activity was linked to slower progression of plasma neurofilament light chain (NfL), a marker of axonal damage, in people with autosomal dominant frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD), an observational study showed. Among 160 FTLD variant carriers with a mean age of about 51, those with higher physical activity levels had 14.0% (95% CI -22.7 to -4.3) slower NfL increases over 4 years compared with those whose activity level was average,…
