The findings suggest that there is an association between physical fitness and cognitive function, and the grip strength and 6-min walk can help explain the cognitive function in community-dwelling older adults. More attention needs to be paid to the increase in physical fitness for preventing or improving the cognitive dysfunction of older persons in the community, and further longitudinal study is warranted.
