Our group has completed an exercise study of 200 patients with mild Alzheimer's disease. We found improvements in cognitive, neuropsychiatric, and physical measures in the participants who adhered to the protocol. Epidemiological studies in healthy elderly suggest that exercise preserves cognitive and physical abilities to a higher extent in  AP  OE  ε4 carriers.    Methods  In this post hoc subgroup analysis study, we investigated whether the beneficial effect of an exercise intervention in patients with mild AD was dependent on the patients'  APOE  genotype.    Results  We found that patients who were  APOE  ε4 carriers benefitted more from the exercise intervention by preservation of cognitive performance and improvement in physical measures.    Discussion  This exploratory study establishes a possible connection between the beneficial effects of exercise in AD and the patients'  APOE  genotype. These findings, if validated, could greatly impact the clinical management of patients with AD and those at risk for developing AD.

Patients with Alzheimer's disease who carry the APOE ε4 allele benefit more from physical exercise
