Cognitive Function, Gait Speed Decline, and Comorbidities: The Health, Aging and Body Composition Study

Abstract: Global and executive cognitive functions predict declines in gait speed. The association of ECF with gait speed decline is attenuated by comorbid conditions, particularly depression. Elucidation of the mechanisms underlying these associations may point to new pathways for the treatment of physical decline associated with diminished cognitive function.

“…In accordance with other studies performed in community-dwelling elderly and healthy elderly (Atkinson et al 2007;Auyeung et al 2008;Blankevoort et al 2013;Camicioli et al 1998;Rosano et al 2005;Soumare et al 2009), we found an association between the presence of low cognitive performance and walking speed assessed by respectively the 4-and 10-m walking tests. The largest effect size was found for the walking speed assessed with the 4-m walking test.…”

“…Cognitive impairment negatively impacts motor performance and cognitive deficits in some participants may have prevented game play at a level sufficient to effect motor behavior changes. 42 In support of this hypothesis is our finding that individuals with higher Unified Huntington's Disease Rating Scale motor scores (> 42) tended to have worse performance on the Unified Huntington's Disease Rating Scale cognitive battery. Alternatively the treatment may have resulted in participants becoming more aware of their deficits and fall risk.…”

“…This assumption is supported by several studies reporting meaningful predictive effects of these variables on changes in activity engagement (Aartsen et al 2002), in mobility (Atkinson et al 2007), and in everyday competence (Cahn-Weiner et al 2000;Diehl 1998;Wahl et al 2010;Diehl et al 1995).…”
