Funded Activity Summary

This fellowship will support novel population-based research directed at understanding how the ageing brain is associated with cognition and the control of gait in older people, and whether early gait changes are able to predict serious adverse outcomes such as future dementia and falls. A better understanding of the relationship between the brain, cognition and mobility is crucial in the step towards successful ageing of older Australians.
