%X <strong><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">Purpose</span></strong><b><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">:</span></b><b><span style=\"font-family:;\" \"=\"\"> </span></b><span style=\"font-family:;\" \"=\"\"><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">To compare and examine motor and cognitive functions
in people who require support, and in healthy elders. </span><b><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">Method</span></b></span><b><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">:</span></b><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"> The variables of age, BMI, educational background,
blood pressure, grip strength, knee extension, gait speed, MMSE, and subjective
health feeling for 36 rehabilitation users and 22 healthy elder</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">s</span><span style=\"font-family:;\" \"=\"\"><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"> were assessed. We compared
and examined motor and cognitive functions in rehabilitation users who need
support and healthy elders. </span><b><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">Results</span></b></span><b><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">:</span></b><span style=\"font-family:;\" \"=\"\"><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"> The percentage of MMSE scores with 27 points or higher and </span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">that of subjective health feeling with 3 points or
higher were significantly </span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">higher in
healthy elders than in rehabilitation users. Systolic and diastolic</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"> blood pressure were significantly higher in rehabilitation users than in
healthy elders. Gait speed and MMSE scores were significantly higher in healthy
elders than rehabilitation users. </span><b><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">Conclusion</span></b></span><b><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">:</span></b><span style=\"font-family:;\" \"=\"\"><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"> Gait speed could be used for physical </span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">fitness
in elders. Gait speed was the best physical fitness measurement for elders.
Gait speed of rehabilitation users was strongly related to MMSE</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"> scores.
Gait speed could be a determinant of MMSE scores.</span></span>
