Sex-Specific Contributions to Single- and Dual-Task Walking in Adults at Risk of Alzheimer Disease and Related Dementias

Key Points

Dual-task gait velocity differs between sexes, suggesting distinct factors influence performance.
Males and females exhibit varied modifiable influences on dual-task gait, emphasizing the need for tailored strategies.
Assessment of walking tasks indicates significant interactions between sex and gait velocity, highlighting important clinical implications.
Findings support the development of sex-specific intervention strategies for those at risk of Alzheimer disease, while further validation is necessary.

Abstract

Dual-task gait velocity is associated with a combination of modifiable factors. However, the importance of each factor differs between males and females. Significance/Implications: Such findings have implications for understanding gait decline and potential sex-specific intervention strategies in those at risk of Alzheimer disease and related dementias.
