Implications and future research on sedentary behavior and dementia

The study's findings have implications for public health interventions to reduce sedentary behavior and potentially decrease the risk of dementia. While it is an observational study and causal relationships cannot be definitively established, future research could explore interventions targeting sedentary behavior, such as examining biomarkers of dementia risk or brain imaging biomarkers. The study suggests that reducing the overall volume of sedentary time may be more important than altering the patterns of sedentary behavior. Additionally, reducing sedentary time may be more feasible and effective than increasing physical activity levels.
