Abstract in brief

  • This study aimed to examine the relationship between the 'weekend warrior' physical activity pattern (exercising once or twice a week) and the risk of mild dementia among adults.
  • Data from 10,033 participants in Mexico City were analyzed over a follow-up period of 16 years, revealing that 'weekend warriors' had a lower risk of mild dementia compared to those who did not exercise.
  • The findings suggest that even minimal physical activity, like that of weekend warriors, may help reduce the risk of mild dementia, indicating potential benefits for mental health.
