Brief summary
Dual task performances may be impaired with the impairment in motor performance and cognitive functions due to aging. The aim of the present study is to investigate the gender differences in dual task performance. A total of 82 community dwelling older adults (41 males and 41 females) aged between 65 and 75 years were included in the study. Motor performance was evaluated with sit-to-stand test, the timed up and go test, 10 m walking test and cognitive functions were evaluated with Montreal Cognitive Assessment Test.
