BACKGROUND: @entity1010 is a common neuroimaging finding in healthy elderly individuals as well as in @entity1 with @entity717 . The relationship between @entity1010 and motor changes has not been frequently reported. This study investigates this relationship. METHODS: A population-based sample of @entity1 (N = 238), aged 70, 74, and 78 years, living in G  teborg, Sweden, participated in this study. Motor performance was measured by a laboratory test, the @entity1062 , which precisely measures the subject's mobility of lower and upper extremities using an optoelectronic technique. Cortical and central @entity194 were rated on computerized tomographic (CT) scans of the brain. RESULTS: In bivariate analysis, temporal lobe @entity194 , high sylvian fissure ratio, and high bicaudate ratio were correlated with @entity73 . The association between temporal lobe @entity194 and high sylvian fissure ratio and poor mobility remained after controlling for age, smoking, @entity301 , @entity6 , @entity101 , and white matter lesions on CT scans. CONCLUSIONS: Our results suggest that temporal lobe @entity194 , which is often seen on brain imaging in elderly @entity1 , might be an important brain abnormality related to @entity73 in elderly @entity1 . Further studies to investigate this relationship and its underlying mechanisms are needed.
