Brief Summary

This study aims to evaluate the cognitive function, physical function, and pain levels of community-dwelling older adults to determine the impact of cognitive ability on physical function and pain. It also seeks to establish foundational data for strategies to prevent dementia and sarcopenia.

Therefore, the purpose of this study is to measure the cognitive function (overall cognition, executive function, memory, attention, etc.), physical function (muscle mass, muscle strength, gait and balance ability), and pain of community-dwelling older adults, and to analyze the correlations between these factors.
