Total (n = 62) | Young-old (n = 31) | Old-old (n = 31) | value of p | |
---|---|---|---|---|
Treadmill speed (km/h, mean ± SD) | ||||
Self-selected walking | 3.3 ± 0.5 | 3.5 ± 0.5 | 3.2 ± 0.5 | 0.005 * |
Fast walking | 4.3 ± 0.7 | 4.6 ± 0.6 | 4.1 ± 0.6 | 0.007 * |
Verbal fluency performance (mean ± SD) | 31.3 ± 11.4 | 36.7 ± 10.9 | 26.4 ± 9.6 | 0.007 * |
SD, standard deviation; *bold font represents significant difference between the young-old and old-old groups (p < 0.05).
