Worry, gait speed, and inflammation as predictors of processing speed in older adults with amnestic mild cognitive impairments (aMCI)
Worry, even at a subclinical level, showed a significant negative association to processing speed. Interestingly, the contribution of worry on processing speed is more pronounced when considering other health factors, reinforcing the importance of a bio-physio-psychological perspective in cognitive aging.
