Description
Summary:	Highlights • Different cognitive functions discriminated gait speed in younger and older women. • Fast-pace gait speed was slower in younger women with lower visuoperceptual abilities. • Dual-task gait speed was slower in younger women with lower visuoperceptual abilities. • Dual-task gait speed was slower in older women with lower memory and executive function.
