Older adults who have slower walking speeds may have increased risk for dementia

Because there’s currently no cure for dementia, it’s important to know about risk factors that may lead to developing it.

Recently, researchers have learned more about changes in walking speed, changes in the ability to think and make decisions, and dementia.
