My observation about running advice that's out there on line, is that it all seems to be written as if everyone is around 30 to 45 years old. So I have to reinterpret it for myself at 68. For anyone 50 and up who wants to start exercising I'd urge them to get a phys. exam. from a PCP first.

Brady, thoughts on the higher risk groups being on medications ? Would that have anything to do with moderate to vigorous findings ? Thanks mate. Dean

Good question! And I honestly don’t have a good answer or speculation…but we do know there’s an exercise x medication intervention for lots of drugs.

Great fun reading about a study that i was a part of. I have given UK Biobank access to my body & soul for about 30yrs. And they get my brain when I am dead too.

Wow, fascinating! Curious if they give you any data (if available) while you’re alive? Anything useful you could learn?

Wow, that’s a lot you do and will do for research.

Their bid on my brain seemed better then the worms'. I am retired nurse & invest in medicine & biotechnology so that is why I was happy to get involved. It is a great project especially with those who they've full lifetime access & beyond access.

I assume a lot of people refrain from donating their brain because of religious reasons. Even if they claim not be religious, most might have the deep rooted belief that there is something after their death.
