Objective: This study aimed to test whether the level of cognitive resources explain the engagement in physical activity across aging and whether the age-related decline of cognitive resources precede the decline in physical activity. Methods: Data from 105,206 adults aged 50 to 90 years from the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARE) were used in adjusted linear mixed models to examine whether the engagement in moderate physical activity and its evolution across aging was dependent on cognitive resources. Cognitive resources and physical activity were measured 5 times over a 12-year period. Delayed recall, verbal fluency, and the level of education were used as indicators of cognitive resources. The frequency of engagement in moderate physical activity was self-reported. Dynamic structural equation models (SEM) were used to assess the temporal precedence of changes in cognitive resources and physical activity. Results: Results showed that lower cognitive resources were associated with lower levels and steeper decreases in moderate physical activity across aging. Results further revealed a time-ordered effect with a stronger influence of cognitive resources (delayed recall and verbal fluency) on subsequent changes in moderate physical activity than the opposite. Conclusion: These findings suggest that, after age 50, the level of engagement in moderate physical activity and its trajectory depend on the availability of cognitive resources.

Moderating Role

Poor neighborhood conditions are associated with lower levels of physical activity in older age, but socio-ecological models put forth that physical activity is dependent on both environmental and individual factors. Older adults’ abilities to overcome environmental physical activity barriers may partially rely on cognitive resources. However, evidence on the moderating role of these cognitive resources in environmental barrier and physical activity behavior associations is still lacking. We analyzed cross-national and longitudinal data on 28,876 adults aged 50 to 96 years in SHARE survey. Lack of access to local services and neighborhood nuisances were used as indicators of poor neighborhood conditions. Delayed recall, verbal fluency, and time orientation were used as indicators of cognitive resources. Confounder-adjusted linear mixed models were conducted to test associations between neighborhood conditions and self-reported physical activity, as well as the moderating role of the cognitive resources. We found that poor neighborhood conditions, especially low access to local services, were associated with less frequent engagement in physical activity and with a steeper decline of engagement in physical activity across aging. Moreover, cognitive resources robustly reduced the adverse influence of poor neighborhood conditions on physical activity. These findings suggest that cognitive resources can temper the detrimental effect of poor neighborhood conditions on physical activity. Public policies should target both individual and environmental factors to tackle the current pandemic of physical inactivity more comprehensively.

The objective of this investigation was to examine the cognitive characteristics of individuals who demonstrate successful and unsuccessful self-regulation of physical activity behavior. In Study 1, participants articulated 1-week intentions for physical activity and wore a triaxial accelerometer over the subsequent 7 days. Among those who were motivated to increase their physical activity, those who were most and least successful were administered an IQ test. In Study 2, a second sample of participants completed the same protocol and a smaller subset of matched participants attended a functional imaging (fMRI) session. In Study 1, successful self-regulators (SSRs) scored significantly higher than unsuccessful self-regulators (USRs) on a test of general cognitive ability, and this difference could not be accounted for by favorability of attitudes toward physical activity or conscientiousness. In Study 2, the IQ effect was replicated, with SSRs showing a full standard deviation advantage over USRs. In the imaging protocol, USRs showed heavier recruitment of cognitive resources relative to SSRs in the anterior cingulate and orbitofrontal cortex during performance of a Stroop task; SSRs showed heavier recruitment in the right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex.
