7/7🧵.👏 Huge thanks to the @aguedaproject. team for this collaborative effort! 🫡💪 @Patricio__Solis @Emilio_rpm @acocapulido @TovalAngel @OlveraRojasM @BellonDario @Ale_sclafani @luciiasancheza @SanchezM_Javier @ortegaporcel @estebancornejoi.

6/7🧵.🧠👣Gait variability could be an indicator of neurocognitive decline in older adults. Understanding these associations is essential for early dementia detection and sheds light on the complex interplay between physical function, brain health, and cognitive function in aging.

5/7🧵.📊: GMV in these gait-related regions was also associated with better cognitive function:.• Supramarginal → working memory.• Hippocampus → attentional/inhibitory control.• Parahippocampal gyrus → executive function, attentional/inhibitory control and working memory

4/7🧵.📊Findings: ⬆️ stride length variability was associated with ⬇️ GMV in the supramarginal gyrus and hippocampus; ⬆️ step length variability was linked to ⬇️ GMV in the parahippocampal gyrus. ⬆️ step time variability was associated with ⬆️GMV in the supplementary motor area

3/7🧵.👟Participants: 87 older adults from the AGUEDA trial.📏Gait variability was measured via Optogait system.🧠 GMV was assessed with whole-brain voxel-based morphometry.💡Cognitive function was calculated from different cognitive tests.

2/7🧵.🎯Aims of the study:.(1) To examine how gait variability (stride length, step length, step time, and gait velocity) relates to gray matter volume (GMV).(2) To explore whether GMV in gait-related regions is linked to cognitive function in cognitively healthy older adults.
