Cross-Sectional and Prospective Associations Between {beta}-Amyloid in the Brain and Chair Rise Performance in Nondementia Older Adults With Spontaneous Memory Complaints

Conclusions: Brain amyloid was not found to be associated to chair rise performance in nondemented older adults with memory complaints. Potential mechanisms on the links, if any, of amyloid load with physical performance are probably not dependent on muscle function.
