Physical activity modifies associations between cerebrospinal fluid tau measures and executive function by Ryan J. Dougherty, Anja Soldan, Corinne Pettigrew, Barry Greenberg, Adam P. Spira, Abhay Moghekar, Marilyn Albert

“…Multivariable linear regression analyses were used to examine whether physical activity (total activity counts over the 10 most active hours of the day) moderates the association between AD CSF biomarkers [Aβ42/40, phosphorylated tau (p‐tau181), and total tau] and cognitive composite scores (episodic memory, executive function). RESULTS There were significant interactions between physical activity and p‐tau181 (p = 0.016) as well as between physical activity and total tau (p = 0.004) in relation to the executive function composite score. …”
