“…As shown in previous studies, the present results confirm that the video recorded Stroop Color-Word Test with interference, which is a cognitive stressor, induces a moderate but significant increase in state anxiety, whatever the subjects' trait anxiety [17,18,20]. The main finding of this study is that a moderate state anxiety increases the SA and SPL balance parameters (i.e., larger and faster body sways) for both VLTA and ITA groups when visual input is available.…”

“…These studies suggest that state anxiety could influence one or more sensory inputs underlying static balance control. In previous studies using a sensorimotor task, it has been shown that individuals possessing different trait anxiety levels preferentially process some sensory modalities in an anxiogenic condition [17,18]. It should be noted that state anxiety is transitory, while trait anxiety is a personality trait conceived as dispositions to perceive and to behave in specific ways, particularly when state anxiety increases [19].…”

“…Consequently, the present study was designed to determine the influence of state anxiety on static balance performance with EO and EC in two groups of healthy human subjects with contrasting trait anxiety levels. Balance performance is assessed in a control condition and an anxiogenic condition induced by the Stroop Color-Word Test with interference, combined with video recording [17,18,20,21], which is a moderate cognitive stressor.…”

Recent studies have highlighted interactions between state anxiety, sensory processing involved in motor performance, and personality traits such as trait anxiety. In the present study, we investigated the effects of moderate state anxiety on static balance performance with eyes open and eyes closed in two groups of healthy subjects with contrasting trait anxiety. We found that an anxiogenic condition induces larger and faster body swaying in both groups in the eyes-open test. This suggests that state anxiety could modify the processing of the different sensory inputs involved in balance control whatever the subjects' trait anxiety level. When vision is absent, precision of static balance control in individuals with intermediate level of trait anxiety - characterized by a higher visual dependence - is more disrupted than in low trait anxiety subjects. Moreover, moderate state anxiety seems to disturb the ability to use vestibular and/or somatosensory inputs in individuals with low anxiety, but not in individuals with intermediate trait anxiety. These results on inter-individual differences provide a first insight into the inter-dependence between trait anxiety, state anxiety and static balance control.

“…As pupillary function and the pupillary light reflex have been found to be significantly abnormal in AD [129] concomitant anxiety in AD may further exacerbate the effects of the disease and confound research results. Anxiety has also been reported to slow processing speeds in older adults with severe state anxiety [101,130,131].…”

While extensive research has been performed in relation to anxiety in general, there is a marked paucity of investigation on older adulthood, especially in relation to those individuals living with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and dementia, with the majority of such studies clinically based and focusing upon 'formal' anxiety disorders. It is however becoming increasingly evident that the detrimental effects of anxiety are not limited to clinical anxiety disorders but can instead occur in response to anxiety per se, i.e., sub-syndromal anxiety including various levels of trait and state anxiety. Furthermore, it is increasingly apparent that even non-clinical anxiety can influence many more components of information processing than previously recognized.
