Abstract:
Cognitive impairment increases the risk of falls and is an important risk factor for falls.At the same time, early gait disorders(a major risk factor for falls)can also predict the development of neurodegenerative diseases.Therefore, cognitive impairment and falls are not separate problems, but are highly correlated and may share common pathological mechanisms.This article explores the impact of cognitive impairment on fall risk in the elderly and its neurobiological mechanisms based on relevant nationally and international research, and provides a theoretical framework and recommendations for fall prevention and clinical intervention in the future.
