Search for: [Abstract = "Results\: The results of the analyzes conducted were presented in three original papers. In the analysis presented in the first study, it was observed that the results of ACE\-III, as well as memory subscales and verbal fluency were independently related to the level of motor performance. It was found that global cognitive performance is associated with the level of motor performance in people with MCI. In the second paper, it was proved that the MCI group was different from the control group in terms of age, the level of education and the level of depression symptoms. In addition, the aMCI group was older and had worse motor performance than the naMCI group. Interestingly, there were no intergroup differences in the incidence of falls and chronic diseases. Logistic regression analysis showed that age, the education level and motor performance are independent predictors for MCI as well as aMCI. In contrast, the only independent factor associated with naMCI was the level of education. In the third article, the results of the analyzes carried out on the whole group showed that almost all domains of cognitive functions \(memory, verbal fluency, executive functions, and working memory\), as well as the presence of MCI were associated with the level of motor performance. What is more, a relationship was observed between executive functions, verbal fluency, working memory, and motor functioning in the MCI group. It is worthy of note that the conducted interaction analysis showed that the MCI type does not moderate the relationship between cognitive and motor functioning. In the multiple linear regression models calculated for subgroups with different cognitive statuses, independent cognitive predicators of motor performance level were a\) executive functions and working memory in the aMCI group, b\) letter fluency in the naMCI group, and c\) category fluency in the control group.Conclusions\: In the light of the research conducted, it can be concluded that older age and a lower level of education, as well as poorer motor skills are independently related to MCI. Cognitive flexibility, working memory and verbal fluency are associated with the level of motor performance in people with MCI. Executive functions are a very important cognitive component for maintaining motor control. The identification of cognitive dysfunctions is an important element of the diagnostic and therapeutic process. The implementation of comprehensive preventive and rehabilitation interventions will optimize the daily functioning of people with MCI."]
