Abstract

The advancement of public services, including the increased accessibility of health services, has led to a rise in life expectancy globally. As a result, aging populations are becoming more prevalent, raising concerns about cognitive decline. Fortunately, non-pharmacological methods, such as physical exercise, have been shown to mitigate the effects of aging on the brain. In this perspective article, we examined meta-analyses on the impact of physical exercise on cognition in older adults. The results indicate that combined exercise (i.e., aerobic plus strength training), has a significant positive effect on overall cognition and executive function. However, we found a lack of scientific studies on this topic in Latin American and Caribbean countries. Therefore, there is a pressing need for research to identify the feasibility of physical exercise interventions to improve cognitive skills in older adults from these regions.
老年人的体育锻炼和认知能力,拉丁美洲和加勒比人口中报告较少的科学方法
公共服务的进步,包括医疗服务的普及,导致全球人均寿命延长。因此,老龄化人口越来越普遍,引起了人们对认知能力下降的担忧。幸运的是,体育锻炼等非药物方法已被证明可减轻衰老对大脑的影响。在这篇视角文章中,我们研究了体育锻炼对老年人认知能力影响的荟萃分析。结果表明,综合运动(即有氧运动加力量训练)对整体认知和执行功能有显著的积极影响。然而,我们发现拉丁美洲和加勒比国家缺乏这方面的科学研究。因此,迫切需要开展研究,以确定体育锻炼干预对改善这些地区老年人认知能力的可行性。
