Cocoa Flavanols Cognitive Performance Randomized Trial	Physical performance measures predict fall risk.Weak grip strength, slow walking speed, and other measures of poor physical performance have been associated with recurrent falls, hospitalization, and fractures.Given the personal and economic burden, safe and effective interventions are needed to prevent falls and maintain good physical function in older adults.	2	Chou Sharon H (2026)	Effects of cocoa extract supplementation on physical performance measures: results from the randomized controlled COcoa Supplement and Multivitamin Outcomes study
Cocoa Flavanols Cognitive Performance Randomized Trial	p p Over 2 yr, urinary gVLM increased from mean (±SE) of 9.5 ± 1.0 to 21.1 ± 1.8 μmol/L in the cocoa extract group.	2	Chou Sharon H (2026)	Effects of cocoa extract supplementation on physical performance measures: results from the randomized controlled COcoa Supplement and Multivitamin Outcomes study
Cocoa Flavanols Cognitive Performance Randomized Trial	There were minimal declines in walking speeds (≤−0.04 m/s) and increased time for the completion of chair stands (<0.8 s) across all treatment groups.	2	Chou Sharon H (2026)	Effects of cocoa extract supplementation on physical performance measures: results from the randomized controlled COcoa Supplement and Multivitamin Outcomes study
Cocoa Flavanols Cognitive Performance Randomized Trial	In the United States, there are more than 3 million emergency department visits per year for falls in adults 65 yr and older, and falls are the leading cause of death due to injury in this age group.In total, medical costs for falls exceed $80 billion/yr in the United States.	2	Chou Sharon H (2026)	Effects of cocoa extract supplementation on physical performance measures: results from the randomized controlled COcoa Supplement and Multivitamin Outcomes study
