①Although the benefits of regular exercise are well documented,there’s a new bonus to add to the ever-growing list.②New research found that middle-aged women who were physically fit could be nearly 90 percent less likely to develop dementia(痴呆症) in later life and if they did,it came on a decade later than less sporty women.Lead researcher Dr Helena Hörder,of the University of Gothenburg in Sweden,said:
“③These findings are exciting because it’s possible that improving people’s cardiovascular(心血管的) fitness in middle age could delay or even prevent them from developing dementia.” ④For the study,191 women with an average age of 50 took a bicycle exercise test until they were tired out to measure their peak(最大值的) cardiovascular capacity.
