Reveals that functional mobility indicators better predict falls than subtle cognitive changes in cognitively normal older adults, suggesting new avenues for targeted fall prevention.
These results suggest that, although subtle changes in cognition may be more closely associated with AD neuropathology, functional mobility indicators better predict falls in cognitively normal older adults. This study adds to our understanding of the mechanisms underlying falls in older adults and could lead to the development of targeted fall prevention strategies.
