Cognitive declines precede and predict functional declines in aging and Alzheimer's disease.

<h4>Objective</h4>To investigate the temporal ordering of cognitive and functional declines separately in older adults with or without Alzheimer's disease (AD).<h4>Design and setting</h4>A community-based longitudinal study of aging and dementia in Northern Manhattan (Wa...
