Associations Between the 24-Hour Movement Behaviour Composition and Dementia

Lay summary

This study aims to understand how an individual's movement across the whole day, including the time they spend sleeping, sitting, and exercising, is related to their risk of developing dementia. Past research has looked at these behaviours one at a time. Our study aims to understand the collective effects of sleep, sitting, and exercise on dementia. The results of our research could help inform public health guidelines on how much sleep, sitting, and exercise are needed for good health.  The project will take 1 year to complete.
