Description
Slow walking paired with memory complaints marks a syndrome, motoric cognitive risk, that may flag people heading for dementia. Donncha Mullin and co-authors tested that flag in Scotland in 2023, following 680 people from a 1936 birth cohort for nine years. At the start about one in eighteen met the syndrome's criteria.
Those people went on to develop dementia at over twice the adjusted rate of the rest. Their paths split four ways over the follow-up: some reverted to healthy, some stayed in the syndrome, some progressed to dementia, and some died. The authors say the cheap, quick syndrome check could pick out a group for early preventive help.
