Researchers find signs of mild cognitive impairment in nearly 38 percent of participants who did not exercise and do not use computers, compared with just over 18 percent of those who do little exercise and also using the computer. Mild cognitive impairment is the loss of memory as the early development of Alzheimer disease.
