In a study reported in Lancet Neurology, researchers are reporting that exercising for half an hour at least twice a week during midlife can significantly cut a person's risk of dementia later, by as much as 50%.

They add that, "Those who are genetically prone to Alzheimer's disease could see a reduction of about 60%."
