Joint trajectories of cognition and gait speed in Mexican American and European American older adults: The San Antonio longitudinal study of aging

摘要

Objectives Cognitive decline and gait speed slowing are independent predictors of disability and mortality. While both factors increase in prevalence with advancing age, little is known about their combined patterns of change. The study goal was to identify joint trajectories of cognition and gait speed within an aging bi-ethnic cohort of Mexican Americans and European Americans.
