| Résumé | {Background. Vascular risk factors contribute to motor decline in the elderly persons. We investigated the relationship between lipid-lowering drugs (LLDs) use and decline in walking speed (WS) in older adults. Methods. Data on 4,009 community-dwelling men and women, aged >= 65 years at baseline, are drawn from the Dijon (France) center of the Three-City study. ``Fast'' WS was assessed over 6 m at baseline and at 4, 6, 8, and 10 years of follow-up. Mixed linear models were used to determine the relationship between LLDs and change in WS over the follow-up. Results. At baseline, 1,295 (32%) participants used LLDs (statins |
