Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Decline in cognitive function and decline in physical performance are generally associated with advanced age. Cognitive dysfunction is a natural consequence of ageing and is an important factor in maintaining quality of life and independence. Investigating the relationship between cognition, physical performance, mobility, and frailty has become a challenging issue in recent years. However, there is a need to further clarify the direction of this cognitive-motor link.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Geriatric individuals
Volunteer healthy geriatric individuals aged 65 years and over
Cognitive Function
The Standardized Mini Mental Test (SMMT) was used to evaluate the cognitive status of the geriatric individuals'. In the test, which has a total score of 30, those with a score of 24 or less are recommended to be evaluated for dementia.
Physical Performance
The Brief Physical Performance Battery (BPPB) was used to assess the physical performance of geriatric individuals. All three physical performance measures (balance, walking speed, getting up from the chair) were scored between 0-4 according to the duration of the activity, these scores were summed and the total score was determined between 0 (poor) and 12 (very good).
Grip Strength
Muscle strength was assessed with a hand grip dynamometer. In the geriatric individuals, less than 30 kg for men and less than 20 kg for women was considered as low hand grip strength.
Walking speed
Walking speed was assessed with the 6-metre walk test. Speed was calculated by dividing each known distance by the time it took for each individual, on each trial, to walk from the start to the end points marked on the floor and then converting to m/s.
Mobility
The Time up Go test (TUG) was used for mobility. The risk of falling increases with increasing duration.
Fraility
Frailty assessment was performed using the FRAIL scale.The scale was scored by giving 0 or 1 point according to the answer given. The higher the score, the greater the fraility.
