    Amyloid β (Aβ) deposition is an important pathophysiological feature of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and can be measured in vivo by positron emission tomography (PET)


    Studies including the Baltimore Longitudinal Study on Aging (BLSA) have shown that compared with Aβ-negative adults, Aβ-positive adults experience accelerated cognitive decline and are more likely to transition from mild cognitive impairment to AD


    Recent PET studies have investigated the relationship between Aβ and gait changes (such as speed, variability), and generally reported an association, indicating that gait may become abnormal with the occurrence and development of AD pathology


    Gait may become abnormal with the occurrence and development of AD pathology.


    Researchers investigated the cross-sectional relationship between the energy cost of walking, gait speed, and amyloid beta (Aβ) status (+/-) in elderly people.
