A study published in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society found that greater community mobility is linked to better cognitive function in adults aged 52 and older. The study included 7,016 Black and white participants and found that the association between mobility and cognition was stronger in individuals with a low risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). The results suggest that cognitive and physical health are interconnected, and a holistic approach addressing both lifestyle and traditional health measures is important. The research emphasizes the importance of staying active and engaged in the community for maintaining cognitive function.
