Description
Benjamin Mast and co-authors review what is known about running and walking for people living with dementia or mild cognitive impairment. Exercise may cut dementia risk, and these two activities help mood in the general public, but no review had gathered the evidence for this group. Their 2023 scoping review searches four databases for studies on the target activities and population.
Screening over a thousand records left forty-nine papers for the full review. The team weighs whether running and walking affect dementia risk, thinking skills, quality of life, and well-being. The evidence is scattered, which is itself a finding for a field long on hope and short on trials. Clinicians and families get an honest map of what is proven and what is not.
