Moderate Impairment in Binocular Contrast Sensitivity Predicts Faster Mobility Decline in Cognitively Unimpaired Older Adults
In cognitively intact older adults with good visual acuity, moderately impaired CS was associated with a significantly faster decline in eSPPB, especially balance, over 30 months of follow-up. A relatively simple test of vision may identify a subset of older adults without cognitive dysfunction who are at risk for mobility decline.
