'Weekend warriors' may be protecting their brains from dementia

New research suggests exercising a couple of times a week may be enough to delay the onset of dementia.

A study in Mexico City found that 'weekend warriors' were 25% less likely to develop mild dementia than those who did no exercise.

Those who exercised three times a week were 11% less likely - it is not clear why those who exercise less benefit more in terms of dementia risk.
