A new study suggests that a decrease in gait speed might be an indicator of dementia, based on research published in PLoS One. The study observed 95 adults aged 60 or above in Cuba, finding a link between reduced gait speed and cognitive decline. However, Dr. Elizabeth Landsverk emphasizes that changes in gait speed could be due to various factors such as other health conditions, not necessarily dementia. It's advisable to consult a medical professional if experiencing changes in gait speed alongside other potential dementia symptoms.
