title: [The benefits of exercise and diet on cognitive function in the elderly with an emphasis on the uunderlying epigenetic mechanisms].
abstract: The Chinese society is rapidly aging. As a result, curbing the aging process and preventing cognitive decline associated with aging are increasingly important. Life-style change is a method that could achieve such a goal with relatively good reproducibility and low cost. The current study summarizes the benefits of sports and dietary intervention on cognitive function in the elderly, with an emphasis on the underlying epigenetic mechanisms. For future studies, improvement in the following aspects is needed: more rigorous study design and inclusion of multiple factors and their interaction.
