Association Between Physical Performance and Cognitive Function in Older Adults Across Multiple Studies: A Pooled Analysis Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background and objectives

While several studies have examined the association between cognitive and physical function, the consistency of these associations across functional contexts is unclear. The consistency of the association between cognitive and physical function performance was examined at baseline across 17 clinical studies with diverse and heterogeneous conditions such as overweight/obese, sedentary, at risk for a mobility disability, osteoarthritis, low vitamin D, or had signs of cognitive impairment.

Research design and methods

Data are from 1,388 adults 50 years and older who completed a cognitive and physical function assessment as part of a research study at the Wake Forest Alzheimer's Disease Research Center or the Wake Forest Older Americans Independence Cen
