Mediating role of structural brain changes in the link between sleep patterns and gait velocity in mild cognitive impairment

Key Points

• Gait velocity is significantly impacted by structural brain changes related to sleep patterns.
• An average decrease in gait velocity was observed along with notable brain structure alterations.
• Observational analysis highlights the correlations between sleep patterns, gait velocity, and neurodegenerative changes.
• Further exploration is needed to confirm these findings, especially in diverse populations.
