| Popis: | AbstractBackground Fine motor performance may serve as an early warning sign for reduced cognitive function. Physical activity can help preserve cognitive function; however, the relationship between fine motor performance and physical activity is not well understood. Therefore, this study examined the relationship between fine motor performance and physical activity in individuals at risk for developing cognitive impairment (those with diabetes and/or non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)).Patients and methods Individuals aged 25–69 with and without diabetes and NAFLD were enrolled. For this cross-sectional study, all participants completed the Human Activity Profile and fine motor performance tasks (Grooved Pegboard Test and Trail Making Test).Results There were 93 participants in the study (NAFLD only (n = 29); diabetes + NAFLD (n = 34), controls (n = 30)). Individuals with both diabetes and NAFLD were less physically active and performed slower on the fine motor performance task. A statistically significant correlation was found between physical activity and motor speed among those with NAFLD only (r = 0.436, p |
