Question

A recent study followed 1740 people aged 65 and older who showed no signs of dementia at the outset. The participants’ health was evaluated every two years for six years. Out of the original pool, 1185 were later found to be free of dementia, 912 reported exercising three or more times a week. 158 people showed signs of dementia, and only 106 reported that they exercised that much. The rest either died or withdrew from the study.
