The participants had an average of 1.74 comorbidities, with hypertension being the most prevalent (62%), followed by diabetes (25%), chronic obstructive airway disease (COAD) (11%), and coronary artery disease (15%). Geriatric assessments revealed varying proportions of frailty (34%), polypharmacy (40%), and urinary incontinence (9%). The mean scores for activities of daily living, instrumental activities of daily living, nutritional status, cognitive function, Timed Up and Go Test, and depression scale were also reported. Various gait parameters demonstrated significant correlations with these geriatric factors, including frailty, comorbidities, BMI, and mobility scores.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n
