Findings identify sensory and motor measures as predictors of cognitive decline in aging adults, suggesting early intervention opportunities.
In middle-aged adults, sensory and motor function and NfL were among the best predictors of 10-year onset of cognitive decline and impairment. After external validation in other studies, these results could help identify those at risk for neurodegeneration and cognitive decline who could benefit from early interventions.
