摘要: Abstract Introduction Cognitive impairment is associated with increased mortality. We examined the association between motoric cognitive risk (MCR) syndrome, a predementia syndrome characterized by slow gait and complaints, survival. Methods A total of 11,867 nondemented participants aged >65 years from three established cohort studies in United States Europe were screened for MCR. Mortality MCR was assessed Cox logistic regression models. Results At baseline, 836 (7.0%) had Over median follow-up 28 months, 1603 died (758 first 2 years). mortality overall (adjusted hazard ratio, 1.69; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.46–1.96) 2-year odds 1.89; CI, 1.50–2.38). The remained after accounting factors as well baseline speed memory performance. Discussion Older adults should be to identify at-risk individuals dementia death.
