Association between exercise habits and subcortical gray matter volumes in healthy elderly people: A population-based study in Japan

摘要

Background and aimsThe relationship between exercise and subcortical gray matter volume is not well understood in the elderly population, although reports indicate that exercise may prevent cortical gray matter atrophy. To elucidate this association in the elderly, we measured subcortical gray matter volume and correlated this with volumes to exercise habits in a community-based cohort study in Japan.
