Introdução: O aumento da prevalência global de distúrbios cognitivos, incluindo o comprometimento cognitivo leve (CCL) e a demência, exige intervenções eficazes. Esta revisão da literatura examina o impacto da atividade física e do exercício em indivíduos com CCL e demência. Objetivo e método: Foi realizada uma pesquisa abrangente da literatura e uma revisão narrativa para explorar a influência da atividade física na saúde cognitiva, enfatizando mecanismos como o aumento do fluxo sanguíneo cerebral e fatores neurotróficos. Resultados e discussão: Os estudos revisados sugerem que a atividade física regular pode afetar positivamente a função cognitiva e pode servir como um componente valioso em estratégias abrangentes para a prevenção e o gerenciamento de distúrbios cognitivos. As evidências destacam o papel potencial da atividade física na redução do risco de demência e na diminuição do declínio cognitivo. Conclusão: A integração da atividade física e do exercício nas rotinas diárias e nas estratégias de saúde é fundamental para enfrentar o desafio crescente dos distúrbios cognitivos, potencialmente melhorando a qualidade de vida dos indivíduos afetados e reduzindo a carga social associada a eles.

PurposeThis study aimed to assess the association of anxiety, headache, and insomnia on the QoL of patients with long COVID-19.MethodsWe conducted a cross-sectional survey between August 2020 and March 2023. A total of 200 participants were eligible, 53 were excluded and 147 patients with long COVID were included. QoL was evaluated across eight domains using the 36-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36). Standardized protocols including the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) (n = 103), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) (n = 73), and Migraine Disability Assessment (MIDAS) (n = 67) were also used.ResultsParticipants with sleep disorders had significantly lower Vitality (p

Purpose: This study aimed to assess the association of anxiety, headache, and insomnia on the QoL of patients with long COVID-19., Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional survey between August 2020 and March 2023. A total of 200 participants were eligible, 53 were excluded and 147 patients with long COVID were included. QoL was evaluated across eight domains using the 36-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36). Standardized protocols including the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) ( n  = 103), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) ( n  = 73), and Migraine Disability Assessment (MIDAS) ( n  = 67) were also used., Results: Participants with sleep disorders had significantly lower Vitality ( p  < 0.001). Participants with anxiety disorders had significantly lower Vitality ( p  = 0.001), poorer Mental Health ( p  = 0.008), and more severe Bodily Pain ( p  = 0.008). Participants with headache had significantly lower Vitality ( p  = 0.032), poorer Mental Health ( p  = 0.036), and poorer Physical Functioning ( p  = 0.016). Participants with both headache and anxiety had significantly lower Vitality ( p  = 0.005) and Mental Health ( p  = 0.043) domain scores. Correlation analysis revealed that higher scores for anxiety, sleep disorder, and headache were independently correlated with poorer QoL across various domains. The presence of sleep disorder was associated with a fourfold increase in risk of experiencing diminished Vitality (odds ratio [OR]4.47; 95% CI 1.01-19.69; p  = 0.048)., Conclusion: Participants with anxiety, sleep, and headache disorders tended to have a worse QoL. The Vitality and Mental Health domains were the most adversely affected in patients with long COVID. Sleep disorders were associated with a fourfold increase in the risk of poor Vitality., Competing Interests: JQ is a member of the editorial board of Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine.
