Dual decline in gait speed and cognition is associated with future dementia: evidence for a phenotype
Abstract
Background: concurrent declines in gait speed and cognition have been associated with future dementia.However, the clinical profile of ‘dual decliners’, those with concomitant decline in both gait speed and cognition, has not been yet described. We aimed to describe the phenotype and the risk for incident dementia of those who present with dual decline in comparison with non-dual decliners.
