Physical Performance and its Association with Executive Function in Latin American Older Adults: Evidence from the LatAmFINGERS Multicenter Randomized Controlled Trial
Higher physical functional performance (gait speed) associated with higher cognitive level (MMSE) is correlated with better performance in executive functions (Stroop C) in older people. This study is the first effort in LAC to associate gait speed with executive tests such as Stroop C, contributing to the understanding of physical performance utility for future preventive and diagnostic dual-task applications.
