文摘

We evaluated the relationship of engagement in individual and combined physical activity, mental activity, and social activity and physical function. Combined physical and mental activity engagement was associated with better physical function, especially in gait speed. Future interventional research should investigate the combination of both physical and cognitive training to prevent decline of physical function in older adults.
