Is there a correlation between posture and brain function (cognition)?

Chiropractic helps improve posture and keep the spine healthy.

In this study in nature the research tried to link forward head posture and brain function. Foward head posture happens in the sagittal plane.

There are three cardinal planes:

Frontal: The frontal plane divides the body into front and back halves as it passes side to side (shoulder to shoulder).

Transverse: The transverse plane divides the body into top and bottom as it passes perpendicular to the long axis of the body.

Sagittal: The sagittal plane divides the body into right-hand and left-hand sides as it passes front (toe side) to back (heel side).

A mass survey of citizens aged 50 to 89 years examined whether cognitive decline could be detected by sagittal spinal balance measurement based on a radiological approach.

When viewed from the side, the more the head and neck protrude in front of the pelvis, the more likely subjects are to show symptoms of mild cognitive decline.
