AB  - This study investigated the predictors of gait speed in community dwelling older adults while examining interplay between physical performance and cognition on comfortable and fast gait speed. Sixty-six community-dwelling older adults (mean age 80.8 71% female) completed the following: 30-Second Chair Stand (30-SCS), Functional Reach (FR), Flanker Task, Digit Symbol Substitution Test (DSST), and gait speed (comfortable and fast). Hierarchical linear regression examined the relationship of comfortable and fast gait speeds with physical performance (30-SCS, FR) and cognitive domains (DSST, CDT, Flanker effect). Unique predictors of comfortable gait speed included 30-SCS (B=1.86, p
