Abstract

<p>[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between locomotive syndrome (LS) and cognitive decline in community-dwelling older women in Japan. [Participants and Methods] In all, 178 people from a health-check project were enrolled. The measurement items were: the 2-step test, grip strength, walking speed, Skeletal Muscle Mass Index, Mini Mental State Examination, and Geriatric Depression Scale. Statistical examination was performed by comparison among the healthy group and three LS classification groups: L1, L2. [Results] Cognitive function, which was the main survey item, was significantly lower in the L2 group than in the healthy group. In addition, differences between the groups were also observed in grip strength, walking speed, and number of medications. [Conclusion] LS classification and cognitive decline are related in community-dwelling elderly people.</p>
