Delighted to share that the latest study from my PhD is accepted and available - just in time for my PhD viva tomorrow too! Motoric Cognitive Risk (slow walking and cognitive probs) predicts dementia in the Scottish cohort LBC1936 @dannigadd @drmluciano @alzscot @EdinUniLBC

[Donncha Mullin @doctormullin]

We just heard from @MariaWalshEU during the opening session of @EFPTrainees annual forum in Zürich. Great messages about prioritising mental health and lovely to hear a familiar accent!

5th study of my PhD is available as a preprint now. https://t.co/6OUp1liIRD We found that having Motoric Cognitive Risk (slow walking + self-reported cognitive complaints) syndrome doubled the risk of incident dementia after adjusting for potential confounders and competing risk
