Physical activity, and physical activity related to sports, leisure and occupational activity as risk factors for ALS: A systematic review
@article{Lacorte2016PhysicalAA, title={Physical activity, and physical activity related to sports, leisure and occupational activity as risk factors for ALS: A systematic review}, author={E. Lacorte and L. Ferrigno and E. Leoncini and M. Corbo and N. Vanacore}, journal={Neuroscience & Biobehavioral Reviews}, year={2016}, volume={66}, pages={61-79} }
BACKGROUND
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is considered a multifactorial, multisystem neurodegenerative disease due to an interaction between environmental and genetic factors. This systematic review aims at gathering all available evidence on the association between physical activity (PA) and the risk of ALS.
METHODS
Relevant literature published up to January 2015 was gathered through structured searches on Medline, The Cochrane Library, and the ISI Web of Science databases. Studies… CONTINUE READING
