New research bolsters evidence that people with early signs of Alzheimer’s can take steps to slow the devastating neurologic disease — literal steps.
Researchers tracked nearly 300 older adults who had no cognitive impairment at the start of the study, measuring their memory and problem-solving skills, among other abilities, for up to 14 years. They also scanned their brains to monitor the build-up of beta-amyloid and tau, toxic proteins linked to disease progression.
