The trajectory of gait speed preceding mild cognitive impairment.
OBJECTIVES To compare the trajectory of motor decline, as measured by gait speed and finger-tapping speed, between elderly people who developed mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and those who remained cognitively intact. We also sought to determine the approximate time at which the decline in motor function accelerated in persons who developed MCI. DESIGN Longitudinal cohort study. PARTICIPAN...
متن کاملMotor Phenotype of Decline in Cognitive Performance among Community-Dwellers without Dementia: Population-Based Study and Meta-Analysis
BACKGROUND Decline in cognitive performance is associated with gait deterioration. Our objectives were: 1) to determine, from an original study in older community-dwellers without diagnosis of dementia, which gait parameters, among slower gait speed, higher stride time variability (STV) and Timed Up & Go test (TUG) delta time, were most strongly associated with lower performance in two cognitiv...
متن کاملCognitive function and gait speed under normal and dual-task walking among older adults with mild cognitive impairment
BACKGROUND Gait ability and cognitive function are interrelated during both normal walking (NW) and dual-task walking (DTW), and gait ability is thus adversely affected by cognitive impairment in both situations. However, this association is insufficiently understood in people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). Here, we conducted a study with MCI participants, to examine whether the associat...
متن کاملCognition and gait show a distinct pattern of association in the general population
BACKGROUND With brain aging, cognition and gait deteriorate in several domains. However, the interrelationship between cognitive and gait domains remains unclear. We investigated the independent associations between cognitive and gait domains in a community-dwelling population. METHODS In the Rotterdam Study, 1232 participants underwent cognitive and gait assessment. Cognitive assessment incl...
