Ge et al. (2026) reported a cross-sectional. 1%-33% moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) proportion vs. Other proportions of MVPA was evaluated on Cognitive impairment (aOR 0.48, 95% CI 0.35-0.67). A 1%-33% proportion of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity was associated with the lowest odds of cognitive impairment (aOR 0.48; 95% CI 0.35-0.67) and depressive symptoms in older adults.
