Association between sensory impairment and cognitive frailty among older people: Evidence from four nationwide cohort studies
This study identifies an association between combined hearing and vision impairments and an increased risk of cognitive frailty. These findings suggest that assessing sensory impairments, particularly dual sensory impairment, in older adults may help identify individuals at higher risk of cognitive frailty. Further research, including longitudinal studies and randomized controlled trials, is needed to explore the potential benefits of early sensory interventions for supporting healthy aging.
