Dementia affects more than 900,000 people in the UK and sufferers may exhibit a warning sign that impacts their walking.
Some of the brain disorder's debilitating symptoms include memory loss, difficulty concentrating, poor judgement and it can even impact muscle function. While dementia has no cure, an early diagnosis can help sufferers manage the condition's effects.

The study, carried out by the University of Minnesota and Monash University, examined 17,000 participants aged over 75, monitoring their walking speeds and cognitive function over a seven year period. Researchers found that those who lost 0.05 meters per second from their pace every year had signs of mental decline.
Researchers said this could be due to a link between brain decline affecting the areas involved in controlling walking and pace. Those who were declining in both cognition and walking speed where found to be at a higher risk of dementia.
This group, dubbed "dual decliners", saw about 178 cases of the condition detected, which is 11.3 per cent of the total number of participants in the study. Those who showed no decline in cognition or walk were least likely to have the disease with just 0.3 per cent diagnosed.
The study did not find a more general link between walking speed and dementia risk. It found that those who slowed down but did not already show signs of cognitive decline were at a similar risk to those whose walking speed remained the same.
