Description
Aline Nogueira Haas and co-authors compare body function in older adults in south Brazil who differ in how well they think and recall. Low and middle income lands in Latin America face high rates of decline in thought, with real costs for care and daily life.
The team used early data from a trial of ageing and movement, with 336 adults over sixty who lived in the community. Tests covered how fast people rose and walked, balance on one leg, gait speed, arm strength, and how far they could reach. People were grouped by a standard test of thought into no, mild, or clear impairment.
