متن کاملDual Sensory Impairment in Older Adults Increases the Risk of Mortality: A Population-Based Study
Although concurrent vision and hearing loss are common in older adults, population-based data on their relationship with mortality is limited. This cohort study investigated the association between objectively measured dual sensory impairment (DSI) with mortality risk over 10 years. 2812 Blue Mountains Eye Study participants aged 55 years and older at baseline were included for analyses. Visual...

This is Part 1 of a two-part article on sensory impairment in older adults; i...
متن کاملOlfactory Dysfunction Predicts 5-Year Mortality in Older Adults
Prediction of mortality has focused on disease and frailty, although antecedent biomarkers may herald broad physiological decline. Olfaction, an ancestral chemical system, is a strong candidate biomarker because it is linked to diverse physiological processes. We sought to determine if olfactory dysfunction is a harbinger of 5-year mortality in the National Social Life, Health and Aging Project...
