Method: 131 community-dwelling older without cognitive disorders were recruited. All volunteers were assessed for neuropsychological performances, body compositions and muscle strength and for gait performances at usual (simple and dual task) and fast walking speeds. Brain MRIs were realized including T1-weighted and T2-weighted data using respectively multiparametric, FLAIR and diffusion sequences. After a two-years follow up, a similar assessment will be plan to detect cognitive or falls. Comparison and correlations analysis will help the clinician to better discern components linked to cognitive decline and falls in healthy old people.
