Gait decline while dual-tasking is an early sign of white matter deterioration in middle-aged and older adults

Loss of white matter integrity (WMI) is associated with gait deficits in middle-aged and older adults. However, these deficits are often only apparent under cognitively demanding situations, such as walking and simultaneously performing a secondary cognitive task.
