Sensory impairments associated with cognitive impairment among older adults in China: A community-based, 10-year prospective cohort study
Our results show that having hearing impairment only, visual impairment only, and dual sensory impairment was significantly associated with a higher risk of cognitive impairment among Chinese older adults aged ≥65 years. This suggest a need for the timely identification and management of sensory impairments for the elderly to reduce dementia risk.
