Motoric cognitive risk syndrome and mortality: results from the EPIDOS cohort

Abstract

Cognitive impairment, slow walking speed and motoric cognitive risk syndrome (MCR) have separately been associated with an increased risk for mortality in the short term. The aim of the study was to examine the association of MCR and its components [i.e. subjective cognitive complaint (SCC) and slow walking speed] with short‐, medium‐ and long‐term mortality in older community‐dwellers.
