Motoric cognitive risk syndrome and incident dementia: results from a population‐based prospective and observational cohort study

Abstract

Motoric cognitive risk syndrome (MCR), which is the juncture of subjective cognitive complaint and slow gait speed, is a pre‐dementia stage. The aims of the study are (i) to compare characteristics between individuals who have MCR defined using slow walking speed and/or increased five‐times‐sit‐to‐stand (FTSS) time as its motor component(s); and (ii) to characterize the association of MCR and its various motor components with incident dementia including Alzheimer disease and non‐Alzheimer dementia in the participants of the Epidémiologie de l’Ostéoporose (EPIDOS) study.
