While the researchers discovered no noticeable impact of exercise upon development of Alzheimer's - the neurodegenerative disease that accounts for roughly 70% of all cases of dementia - they found a marked impact on the risk of developing vascular dementia, the second most common variation after Alzheimer's.

Just so, Bawa's naturally ventilated Ena de Silva...
