Physical inactivity, high blood pressure and dyslipidemia are risk factors for Alzheimer's
disease (AD) and vascular dementia. Importantly, these risk factors are modifiable with
lifestyle changes, pharmacological treatment, or both. The rrAD study will determine effects
of aerobic exercise training and intensive vascular risk reduction on cognitive performance
in older adults who have high risk for AD.
