The Association Between Sensory Impairment and Cognitive Impairment Among Older Adults: Insights From a National Cohort Study in China
In this nationally representative sample of Chinese older adults, VI, HI, and DSI, were significantly associated with an increased risk of cognitive impairment. Future studies are encouraged to employ standardized tools to assess sensory and cognitive impairments, further explore the mechanisms linking the two, and consider the potential benefits of incorporating sensory impairment assessment and management into primary healthcare to reduce the risk of cognitive impairment.
