Association of perceived discrimination with emotional well-being in older adults with visual impairment

JAMA Ophthalmology Jun 04, 2019

Jackson SE, et al. – Researchers assessed people with visual impairment to investigate the prevalence of perceived discrimination and its association with emotional well-being in this population. From the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing—a representative sample of older men and women in England—the researchers obtained and analyzed data from 7,677 participants aged ≥ 50 years. Discrimination was reported by 52.1% of those with poor eyesight vs 43.8% of those with good eyesight—a significant difference that indicated an increased risk of perceived discrimination among older adults with impaired vision. Those who reported experiencing discrimination were more frequently depressed, lonely, and dissatisfied with life, and their quality of life was poorer than those who did not report discrimination.
