Takeaway
Motoric Cognitive Risk syndrome (MCR) can be confirmed as a pre-dementia stage of incident dementia.
Why this matters
The prognostic value of MCR for dementia have mainly been studied in North America withno data being available for France.
Evaluating this association in the French population will give data that may confirm the relationship between MCR and incident dementia and elucidate the value of slow gate speed as a marker for assessing dementia risk.
