Does a healthier lifestyle improve cognitive function in Chinese adults aged 80 years and older regardless of APOE genotype?

In this study, we observed that healthier lifestyle was associated with better cognitive function among the oldest old regardless of APOE genotype. Our findings may inform the cognitive outlook for those oldest old with high genetic risk of cognitive impairment.
