A new study has identified the way you walk could be a sign of dementia.
The research, carried out by the University of Minnesota and Monash University, has suggested that walking more slowly in old age could be a symptom. Scientists found the ability to walk could become more difficult as the brain declines.
The study tracked 17,000 people over 75 across a seven-year period and testED their walking speed and cognition every other year. Scientists found people who lost 0.05 meters per second from their pace every year had signs of mental decline - as The Daily Record reports.
