Cognitive performance was assessed via a validated composite score from the Cogstate Brief Battery, with higher scores indicating lower cognitive performance. Leukocyte count (3-11 × 109 cells/liter) served as a systemic inflammation biomarker, categorized as low (<6.5 × 109 cells/liter) or high (≥6.5 × 109 cells/liter). We used the Short Questionnaire to Assess Health-Enhancing Physical Activity to define moderate (0, 1-149, 150+ minutes) and vigorous (0, 1-74, 75+ minutes) physical activity. We performed linear regression models to examine the effect of inflammation and vigorous physical activity on cognition, adjusting for moderate physical activity and covariates. An interaction effect analyzed the potential moderation of vigorous physical activity.ResultsIndividuals with high systemic inflammation (SI) levels in both waves exhibited significantly longer reaction times (b = 0.062 [95% confidence interval: 0.002; 0.122]) compared to those with low SI levels in both waves. Individuals who engaged in 1-74 min or 75+ minutes of vigorous physical activity had significantly faster reaction times (1-74: b = -0.114 [-0.193; -0.034], 75+: b = -0.160 [-0.210; -0.111]) than those who did not. The interaction term was insignificant.ConclusionsAlthough vigorous physical activity is protective, it cannot mitigate the negative association between systemic inflammation and cognition. Nevertheless, promoting vigorous physical activity in an ageing population can be an effective strategy for preventing or delaying cognitive decline. 000282554 536__ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF4-354$$a354 - Disease Prevention and Healthy Aging (POF4-354)$$cPOF4-354$$fPOF IV$$x0 000282554 588__ $$aDataset connected to CrossRef, PubMed, , Journals: pub.dzne.de 000282554 650_7 $$2Other$$aAlzheimer's disease 000282554 650_7 $$2Other$$acognitive performance 000282554 650_7 $$2Other$$acohort study 000282554 650_7 $$2Other$$aphysical activity 000282554 650_7 $$2Other$$asystemic inflammation 000282554 650_2 $$2MeSH$$aHumans 000282554 650_2 $$2MeSH$$aNetherlands: epidemiology 000282554 650_2 $$2MeSH$$aMale 000282554 650_2 $$2MeSH$$aFemale 000282554 650_2 $$2MeSH$$aInflammation: psychology 000282554 650_2 $$2MeSH$$aInflammation: epidemiology 000282554 650_2 $$2MeSH$$aExercise: physiology 000282554 650_2 $$2MeSH$$aExercise: psychology 000282554 650_2 $$2MeSH$$aAged 000282554 650_2 $$2MeSH$$aCognition: physiology 000282554 650_2 $$2MeSH$$aMiddle Aged 000282554 650_2 $$2MeSH$$aIndependent Living: psychology 000282554 650_2 $$2MeSH$$aCohort Studies 000282554 650_2 $$2MeSH$$aNeuropsychological Tests 000282554 650_2 $$2MeSH$$aCognitive Dysfunction 000282554 650_2 $$2MeSH$$aAged, 80 and over 000282554 650_2 $$2MeSH$$aAging in Place 000282554 7001_ $$00000-0003-3228-1794$$aReinke, Constantin$$b1 000282554 7001_ $$00000-0003-0143-0873$$aAretz, Benjamin$$b2 000282554 7001_ $$0P:(DE-2719)2000008$$aHeneka, Michael T$$b3 000282554 7001_ $$0P:(DE-2719)2811246$$aDoblhammer, Gabriele$$b4$$eLast author 000282554 773__ $$0PERI:(DE-600)2070772-1$$a10.1177/13872877251386480$$gVol. 108, no. 3, p. 1369 - 1377$$n3$$p1369 - 1377$$tJournal of Alzheimer's disease$$v108$$x1387-2877$$y2025 000282554 8564_ $$uhttps://pub.dzne.de/record/282554/files/DZNE-2025-01317.pdf$$yOpenAccess 000282554 8564_ $$uhttps://pub.dzne.de/record/282554/files/DZNE-2025-01317.pdf?subformat=pdfa$$xpdfa$$yOpenAccess 000282554 909CO $$ooai:pub.dzne.de:282554$$popenaire$$popen_access$$pVDB$$pdriver$$pdnbdelivery 000282554 9101_ $$0I:(DE-588)1065079516$$6P:(DE-2719)2241493$$aDeutsches Zentrum für Neurodegenerative Erkrankungen$$b0$$kDZNE 000282554 9101_ $$0I:(DE-588)1065079516$$6P:(DE-2719)2811246$$aDeutsches Zentrum für Neurodegenerative Erkrankungen$$b4$$kDZNE 000282554 9131_ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF4-354$$1G:(DE-HGF)POF4-350$$2G:(DE-HGF)POF4-300$$3G:(DE-HGF)POF4$$4G:(DE-HGF)POF$$aDE-HGF$$bGesundheit$$lNeurodegenerative Diseases$$vDisease Prevention and Healthy Aging$$x0 000282554 9141_ $$y2025 000282554 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0200$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bSCOPUS$$d2024-12-20 000282554 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0160$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bEssential Science Indicators$$d2024-12-20 000282554 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)1050$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bBIOSIS Previews$$d2024-12-20 000282554 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)1190$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bBiological Abstracts$$d2024-12-20 000282554 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0600$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bEbsco Academic Search$$d2024-12-20 000282554 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)1030$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bCurrent Contents - Life Sciences$$d2024-12-20 000282554 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0113$$2StatID$$aWoS$$bScience Citation Index Expanded$$d2024-12-20 000282554 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0150$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bWeb of Science Core Collection$$d2024-12-20 000282554 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0510$$2StatID$$aOpenAccess 000282554 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0030$$2StatID$$aPeer Review$$bASC$$d2024-12-20 000282554 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0300$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bMedline$$d2024-12-20 000282554 915__ $$0LIC:(DE-HGF)CCBY4$$2HGFVOC$$aCreative Commons Attribution CC BY 4.0 000282554 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0199$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bClarivate Analytics Master Journal List$$d2024-12-20 000282554 9201_ $$0I:(DE-2719)1012002$$kAG Doblhammer$$lDemographic Studies$$x0 000282554 980__ $$ajournal 000282554 980__ $$aVDB 000282554 980__ $$aUNRESTRICTED 000282554 980__ $$aI:(DE-2719)1012002 000282554 9801_ $$aFullTexts
