Relationship Between Visual Acuity and Cognitive Functions in Older Adults With Visual Impairment: The Mediating Role of Frailty
These results suggest that the deterioration of visual acuity strongly impacts cognitive function and that frailty may mediate this relationship. Protecting visual health and preventing frailty in older adults may play a critical role in reducing the risk of cognitive impairment. Regular eye examinations, early intervention for vision disorders, and frailty prevention strategies can contribute to maintaining cognitive health.
