The association between midlife neighbourhood walkability and Alzheimer’s disease in women: a prospective nested case–control study

Key Points

• This study aims to determine the relationship between midlife neighbourhood walkability and the risk of Alzheimer's disease in women.
• Conducted a prospective nested case–control study.
• Analyzed data from a cohort of women.
• Measured midlife neighbourhood walkability using specific criteria.
• Higher midlife neighbourhood walkability was linked to lower odds of developing Alzheimer's disease.
• Findings suggest that walkability may promote better cognitive health in later life for women.
