First seen Aug 07, 2026 · Last updated Aug 07, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how the number of health conditions and thinking abilities relate to walking speed and breathing strength in adults aged 60 and older. Participants will complete questionnaires, thinking tests, and simple physical measures like a 4-meter walk and breathing strength checks. No treatment is given—the goal is to better understand these connections to help guide future care.
