Participants underwent high resolution magnetic resonance imaging scans to enable detailed examination of the MTL.<\/p>\n<p>The researchers found that after controlling for age, total MTL thickness correlated inversely with hours of sitting per day. In MTL subregional analysis, there were inverse correlations for parahippocampal (P = 0.007), entorhinal (P = 0.05), and cortical and subiculum (P = 0.04) thicknesses with hours of sitting per day. Physical activity levels were not significantly associated with MTL thickness.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Though preliminary, our results suggest that more sedentary non-demented individuals have less MTL thickness,&#8221; the authors write.<\/p>\n<p>One author disclosed financial ties to the pharmaceutical industry; one author disclosed ties to a personalized medicine company.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/journals.plos.org\/plosone\/article?id=10.1371\/journal.pone.0195549\" target=\"_new\">Abstract\/Full Text<\/a><\/p>\n<p><i><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>Copyright \u00a9 2018 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthday.com\/\" target=\"_new\">HealthDay<\/a>.
