Association of peak expiratory flow with motoric cognitive risk syndrome among older adults.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The association between lung function and motoric cognitive risk syndrome (MCR) is unclear. We aimed to explore the association of peak expiratory flow (PEF) with MCR using cross-sectional and longitudinal analyses.

Methods

Within the CHARLS, 5095 participants were included in the cross-sectional analysis, and 4340 MCR-free participants were included in the longitudinal analysis. The PEF was assessed with a lung peak flow meter. MCR was characterized by cognitive complaints and a slow walking speed with normal mobility and without dementia. Logistic regression, Cox regression, and Laplace regression models were employed for data analysis.

Results

In this cross-sectional study, logistic regression analyses revealed that continuous PEF was associated with MCR
