The apolipoprotein E (APOE) e4 allele is a well-established genetic risk factor of brain aging. Vigorous physical activity may be particularly important in APOE-e4 carriers, but data have been inconsistent, likely due to differences in the timing of the physical activity assessment, definition of cognitive decline, and/or sample size.
