Leisure Time Physical Activities’ Association With Cognition and Dementia: A 19 Years’ Life Course Study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-06-15)Introduction: Cognitive impairment is one of the main disabilities in dementia. Physical activity (PA) has been suggested as protective for dementia. However, the findings are disparate in studies, and the question of whether this is because of reverse causality is still open. We aimed to explore the association of PA with cognition in people who later developed dementia compared to those who ... -
Short-term temporal variation of coastal marine eDNA
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-02-23)Temporal variation in eDNA signals is increasingly explored for understanding community ecology in aquatic habitats.
