Individuals with mild cognitive impairment showed lower balance and physical fitness scores compared to normal cognitive levels.
Cognitive functions assessed by MoCA were significantly related to balance and fall risk, highlighting its importance in older adults.
No correlation was found between the Clock Drawing Test and physical fitness parameters, unlike the strong links seen with MoCA.
This study emphasizes the need for targeted fitness programs to address balance and cognitive health in older populations.
