Prevalence of Peripheral Neuropathy Among Very Old Adults: Evidence From the Michigan Neuropathy Screening Instrument
PN detected by the MNSI is highly prevalent among very old adults, regardless of diabetes status. The MNSI detected a higher prevalence of PN in older adults compared to the monofilament test. Routine screening of high-risk adults using the MNSI may be warranted to facilitate early detection and management.
