  • The average age of participants was 40 years, with low physical activity impacting quality of life inconsistently.
  • A narrative review identified 20 studies, with 8 meeting inclusion criteria and highlighting cognitive function assessments.
  • The findings suggest potential interventions of physical activity for improving clinical outcomes and quality of life.
