Exploring the Association Between Physical Fitness Components and Cognitive Function in Older Korean Adults: The SUPERBRAIN Exploratory Sub-study

Key Points

Coordination is the physical fitness component that shows a consistent link to cognitive performance.
Older adults with better coordination demonstrated improved cognitive performance metrics, highlighting an important association.
Observational analysis of older Koreans investigates various fitness components and their cognitive impacts.
These findings suggest that targeting coordination through exercise interventions may enhance cognitive health in older adults.

Abstract

Coordination, as measured by T-wall response time, emerged as the only physical fitness component consistently associated with cognitive performance in older adults. Coordination-related fitness may be an important correlate of cognitive function in older adults and a promising target for future exercise interventions.
