We secondarily described the association of the same biomarkers with 4 cognitive domain scores.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Higher phorphorylated-tau181 was associated with worse performance on the expanded short physical performance battery, slower 4 m gait speed, and shorter balance time. Higher neurofilament light was associated with worse expanded short physical performance battery, slower 4 m gait speed, and slower 400 m gait speed in adjusted models. However, there was no association of A\u03b242\/A\u03b240, p-tau217, or glial fibrillary acidic protein with mobility. Only p-tau217 was associated with global and processing speed cognitive domain scores in multivariable models, but not after adjusting for multiple comparisons.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>These data suggest that p-tau181 and neurofilament light are potential markers of mobility performance in cognitively normal older adults, even when they are not associated with cognitive performance.
