Physical Activity and Neuropsychological Functioning in Older Adults.

Research has identified a positive relationship between physical activity and neuropsychological functioning across the lifespan. The present study further examined the relationship between physical activity, depression, anxiety, and cognitive functioning in community-dwelling older adults (ages 65-96) who completed an outpatient neuropsychological evaluation ( = 526). Psychometrically sound and validated measures were used to assess depression, anxiety, and cognitive functioning.
