Walking is a complex task requiring the interplay of neuromuscular, sensory, and cognitive functions. Owing to the age-related decline in cognitive and physical functions, walking may be compromised in older adults, for cognitive functions, especially poor performance in executive functions, is associated with slow walking speed. Hence, the aim of this study was to investigate the associations between different subdomains of executive functions and physical functions and whether the associations found differ between men and women. Multiple linear regression analysis was performed on data collected from 314 community-dwelling older adults who did not meet physical activity guidelines but had intact cognition. Our results showed that, while executive functions were associated with gait and lower extremity functioning, the associations depended partly on the executive process measured and the nature of the physical task. Moreover, the associations did not differ between the sexes.

Cognitive and physical functions among middle-aged and older people: A special emphasis on executive functions and walking
Tirkkonen, Anna (Jyväskylän yliopisto, 2023)Cognitive and physical functions are key factors for safe walking. Unfortunately, these functions deteriorate with age and therefore older adults may experience difficulties in outdoor mobility. In women, decline in cognitive ... -
