Physical fitness was
associated with more successful cognitive aging, the study by Ian Deary, PhD, FRCPE, with the University of Edinburgh in
Scotland examined 460
men and women who had been participants of the Scottish Mental Survey
of 1932. The participants were tested using the same cognitive test at
age 11 and age 79. The study found physical fitness has a greater impact on cognitive ability in old age than childhood IQ and that physical fitness contributed
more than three percent of the differences in cognitive ability in old
age after accounting for participant's test scores at age 11. - from
