Regular biking may reduce the risk of early-onset dementia by up to 40%, according to a large study published in JAMA

Researchers analyzed data from 480,000 participants, providing one of the most comprehensive looks at how physical activity supports long-term brain health. The findings suggest that cycling boosts oxygen delivery to the brain, enhances blood flow to critical thinking regions, and improves support for brain cells.

These combined effects help protect neural pathways and maintain cognitive function over time. Overall, the study highlights biking as a simple, accessible activity with powerful benefits for reducing dementia risk.
