ABSTRACT
Dual decline in gait and cognition is associated with an increased risk of dementia, with combined gait and memory decline exhibiting the strongest association. To better understand the underlying pathology, we investigated the associations of baseline brain structure with dual decliners using three serial gait speed and cognitive assessments in memory, processing speed-attention, and verbal fluency. Participants (n=267) were categorized based on annual decline in gait speed and cognitive measures. Lower gray and white matter volume and higher white matter hyperintensity volume increased the risk of being a dual decliner in gait and both the memory and processing speed-attention groups (all p < 0.05). Lower hippocampal volume (p = 0.047) was only associated with dual decline in gait and memory group. No brain structures were correlated with dual decline in gait and verbal fluency. These results suggest that neurodegenerative pathology and white matter hyperintensities are involved in dual decline in gait and both memory and processing speed-attention. Smaller hippocampal volume may only contribute to dual decline in gait and memory.
