dc.description.abstractAim: The prevalence of chronic disease increases with aging. It is very important to examine the effects of comorbidity in older adults. The aim of this study is to compare the timed limb coordination according to comorbidity level in community dwelling older adults. Material and Method: Ninety six older adult were included. The socio-demographic data (age, height, weight, educational level, etc) recorded. Modified Charlson comorbidity (mCCI) index assessed comorbidity levels of older adults. The older adults performed timed limb coordination tests for upper and lower limb. The participants were divided into two groups in terms of their comorbidity (low comorbidity; mCCI<3, high comorbidity; mCCI ?3). Result: Forty-eight participants (26 females, 22 males, mean age 69.40±2.64 ) had low comorbidity level, the other 48 individuals (32 females, 16 males, mean age 72.26±6.04) had high comorbidity level. The age, gender, body mass index, cognitive status and education status were similar between groups (p>0.05). The participants with low comorbidity were found to have better timed limb coordination (p<0.001). Conclusion: We determined that the presence of chronic disease affects timed limb coordination in Turkish older adults. It may be important to investigate the effects of comorbidity, balance and coordination exercise programs were included physiotherapy programs in reducing the negative features of comorbidity in future studies.
