Higher motor reserve scores correlate with reduced brain atrophy in specific cortical regions, indicating beneficial effects.
Analysis using structural magnetic resonance imaging assessed brain volume in 54 older adults aged 65-85.
Cognitive assessments showed mixed results, with motor reserve significantly affecting parietal atrophy in certain brain regions.
Findings suggest that increased physical activity may mitigate brain atrophy, but results warrant cautious interpretation due to the small sample size.
