Article Synopsis
- Gait speed is linked to balance disorders in older adults living at high altitudes, particularly in 12 Andean Peruvian communities.
- A study analyzed 418 participants over 60 years old, finding that lower gait speeds correlated with a higher prevalence of balance issues.
- The results suggest that those with intermediate and low gait speeds have a significantly increased risk of balance disorders, indicating a need for more research to develop preventative interventions for the elderly in these areas.
