What is Association Between Accelerometer-Derived Physical Activity Measurements and Brain Structure: A Population-Based Cohort Study about?
## Background and objectives: While there is growing evidence that physical activity promotes neuronal health, studies examining the relation between physical activity and brain morphology remain inconclusive. we therefore examined whether objectively quantified physical activity is related to brain volume, cortical thickness, and gray matter density in a large cohort study. in addition, we assessed molecular pathways that may underlie the effects of physical activity on brain morphology. ## Methods: We used cross-sectional baseline data from 2,550 eligible participants (57.6% women; mean age: 54.7 years, range: 30-94 years) of a prospective cohort study. physical activity dose (metabolic equivalent hours and step counts) and intensity (sedentary and light-intensity and moderate-to-vigorous intensity activities) were recorded with accelerometers. brain volumetric, gray matter density, and cortical thickness measures were obtained from 3t mri scans using freesurfer and statistical parametric mapping. the relation of physical activity (independent variable) and brain structure (outcome) was examined with polynomial multivariable regression, while adjusting for age, sex, intracranial
