CT were analyzed. The subjects were elderly people aged 55–75 who volunteered for brain 18F of the FDG CT and PET scanning. The elderly who maintained exercise were divided into exercise group and non-exercise group into control group. The images obtained by CT examination showed that the brain of the elderly who insisted on exercise showed a significant increase in glucose metabolism, which indicated that exercise had a preventive effect on brain diseases of the elderly, and reduced the risk of cerebral vascular occlusion and brain atrophy.
