A Longitudinal Study of Gait and Balance Dysfunction in Normal Older People
Arch Neurol 60:835-839, Baloh,R.W.,et al, 2003
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
This longitudinal study showed age-related decreases in vestibular, visual, auditory, and somatosensation in normal older people, but these changes were only weakly correlated with changes in gait and balance. White matter hyperintensities on magnetic resonance imaging were more highly correlated with changes in gait and balance, but all variables together accounted for only about 29% of the measured change in gait and balance.
