Slow walking speed or a precursor to cognitive decline

The results of the 4 m walking examination and cognitive function evaluation of the elderly in 2222 adults showed that the average cognitive function of the elderly was higher in the population with a slower walking speed of 0.83 m∕s and a normal walking speed of 1.02 m∕s or more. The score is lower.

The team said that the 4m walk check set the start and end points respectively, the path is a straight line, and the time is measured at the natural walking speed. The walking speed of healthy 65-year-olds should be 1m∕s. The decline in motor function such as walking is likely to be due to the damage to many organs and musculoskeletal health functions including cognitive function.

The team also observed in this study that patients with sleep apnea syndrome walked more slowly. It can be determined that the symptoms of cognitive decline in patients with sleep apnea syndrome will manifest more quickly.

In addition, walking regulates the energy and movement of the body and plays an important role in the health of various internal organs such as the heart, lungs, blood, nerves and muscles. The slowing of walking speed should be considered as an important sign of cognitive decline due to aging.
