BACKGROUND Motoric cognitive risk syndrome (MCR), a pre-dementia syndrome characterized by subjective cognitive complaints and slow gait, is associated with disability in instrumental activities of daily living. It is unknown whether these functional limitations occur even before this pre-dementia syndrome is diagnosed. OBJECTIVE To assess profiles of complex and instrumental activities of daily living in the prodromal stages of MCR. METHODS We examined functional profiles in 46 older adults (mean age 79 years, 59% women) living in the community with normal cognition at baseline who developed MCR over follow-up ('pre-MCR') with 264 older adults (mean age 75 years, 57% women) who remained cognitively intact over the follow-up period. RESULTS Pre-MCR individuals had more limitations on complex everyday function at baseline compared to normal controls in multivariable logistic regression models (odds ratio 1.21). Pre-MCR cases at baseline had limitations in handling finances (odds ratio 3.0) and performing hobbies (odds ratio 5.5) as compared to normal controls. Pre-MCR cases had a greater difference in the number of complex functional limitations from baseline to MCR compared to the difference from baseline to final visit for the controls (1.2±3.0 versus 0.5±2.2, p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Limitations in complex everyday tasks arise in the prodromal stages of MCR and can assist in risk prognostication.
