| Annotation | The World Health Organization (WHO) have recently recommended that older adults aged 65 years and over should aim to walk 10,000 steps per day (equating to 4-5 miles) in order to sustain good cognitive health. This article briefly considers the truth behind this recommendation and looks at other benefits of physical activity for healthy mental ageing. (JL). |
