Stronger associations between a Brief Evaluation of Activities of Daily Living and Cognition (BEAN) and cognitive activity than physical activity in unimpaired older adults
Results support the use of the BEAN test as a measure of cognition and daily functioning rather than as a physical/motor assessment. Furthermore, the BEAN test appears to be sensitive to the mechanisms by which cognitive engagement, rather than physical activity, positively impact cognition in community-dwelling older adults.
