Can we see gait and cognition relationship as an emerging geriatric syndrome? A roundtable debate

A roundtable discussion and debate will summarize the evidence in favor of and against considering “gait and cognition” as an emerging geriatric syndrome. Specifically, we will discuss whether there is sufficient evidence to support the idea that gait and cognitive impairments among older individuals in the absence of an overt neurological disease represent a distinct phenotype caused by shared mechanisms. Potential clinical applicability of the construct will be discussed.
