A new study has found that daily activity that can be as simple as household chores could reduce the risk of dementia.
Those in the study who had a higher level of physical activity were thought to be at a reduced dementia risk, while those who watched a lot of TV were associated with a higher risk.
The study looked at 500,000 volunteers who had an average age of 56, with participants self-reporting the amount and type of physical activity they do as part of the UK Biobank study.
