Cognition and gait speed often decline together, study shows

(University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio) Measures of cognition and gait speed largely paralleled each other in a San Antonio study of 370 participants that included 9 ½ years of follow-up. One-fifth of participants were classified into a cognitive and physical vulnerability group. Mexican American participants were almost four times more likely than European Americans to be in the cognitive and physical vulnerability group.
