Özet:

 Dual-task performances may be impaired with the impairment in motor performance and cognitive functions due to aging. The aim of the present cross-sectional study is to investigate the gender differences in dual-task performance. A total of 82 community-dwelling older adults 41 males and 41 females aged between 65 and 75 years were included. Motor performance was evaluated with the sit-to-stand test, the timed up and go test, 10 m walking test and cognitive functions were evaluated with Montreal Cognitive Assessment Test. Dual-task performances were evaluated as motor-motor and cognitive-motor performance. Mean age was 70.123.18 years for females and 69.803.21 years for males. Both groups were similar with regard to age, education status, exercise habits, and working status. In dual-task performances, females were found to complete motor-motor tasks in a shorter time as compared to males p0.001. Cognitive-motor task performances were found to be better in males p0.038. It is considered that gender differences in dual-task performances could be understood better in the light of the results of the present study and treatment may be arranged in accordance with these gender differences.

 Yaşlanmaya bağlı olarak motor performans ve bilişsel işlevlerdeki bozulma ile ikili görev performansları bozulabilir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, ikili görev performansındaki cinsiyet farklılıklarını araştırmaktır. Çalışmaya 65-75 yaş arası toplumda yaşayan toplam 82yaşlı yetişkin 41 erkek ve 41 kadın dahil edildi. Motor performans otur-kalk testi, zamanlı kalk ve yürü testi, 10 m yürüme testi ile değerlendirildi ve bilişsel işlevler Montreal Bilişsel Değerlendirme Testi ile değerlendirildi. İkili görev performansları motor-motor ve bilişsel-motor performans olarak değerlendirildi. Ortalama yaş kadınlarda 70,123,18 yıl, erkeklerde 69,803,21 yıl idi. Her iki grup yaş, eğitim durumu, egzersiz alışkanlıkları ve çalışma durumu açısından benzerdi. İkili görev performanslarında ise kadınların motor-motor görevleri erkeklere göre daha kısa sürede tamamladıkları görüldü p0,001. Bilişsel-motor görev performansları erkeklerde daha iyi bulundu p0,038. Bu çalışmanın sonuçları ışığında ikili görev performanslarındaki cinsiyet farklılıklarının daha iyi anlaşılabileceği ve bu cinsiyet farklılıklarına göre uygulanacak tedavinin düzenlenebileceği düşünülmektedir.
