Moderating Effects of Endurance on Gait Speed Associations With Incident Mild Cognitive Impairment and Dementia

Abstract

Although slower gait speed is associated with cognitive impairment, endurance may be more predictive in older adults with faster gait speed. We examined moderating effects of endurance on the relationship of gait speed with incident mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or dementia in cognitively normal ARIC participants (n = 2242, mean age=78.
