Relationship of Multiple Sensory Impairments With Physical Performance in Older Adults in the Study of Muscle, Mobility and Aging
Greater SIs were associated with worse physical performance in older adults, and the association was partially mediated by measures of cognitive processing speed and executive function. Future studies should investigate the temporal relationship between SIs, cognitive function, and physical function.
