Resumo

To the Editors, We recently published evidence-based guidelines for the role of exercise in the prevention of dementia.1 The guidelines combined an umbrella review and expert consensus, and has important implications for psychiatry. Evidence from published studies was evaluated using the GRADE assessment. We found scarce and relatively low-quality evidence in the literature, particularly for the primary prevention of dementia. Our GRADE-informed evidence synthesis yielded the following conclusions: For Primary prevention of dementia: Physical activity may be considered for the primary prevention of dementia. In people without dementia or MCI, exercise may be no better than health education for the primary prevention of dementia and MCI.
