A new study found that people with too much sedentary time have an increased risk of developing dementia.
A new study finds people with sedentary lifestyles are more likely to develop dementia, especially if they remain sedentary for 10 hours a day or more—the latest in an avalanche of research showing the best way to combat the geriatric ailment is exercise.... [+]

The researchers from the University of Southern California and University of Arizona examined a set of data that followed 49,841 older adults in the U.K. who wore devices on their wrists that measured movement for 24 hours a day for one week.
Six years after wearing the devices, 414 of the adults had developed dementia, 250 of whom spent more than 9.27 waking hours a day sedentary and 154 spent more than 10.43 waking hours a day sedentary, the researchers found. This means, the researchers concluded, that spending around 10 or more hours of the day sedentary is “significantly associated” with higher rates of dementia.
However, while the increase in dementia rates rapidly increases after 10 hours a day spent sedentary, the same is not true for lower levels, less than 10 hours, which saw no increased dementia risk, which suggests as long as one keeps their sedentary time under 10 hours, they won’t see increased dementia risk, according to the study.
