Association of vision impairment with preventive care use among older adults in the United States
JAMA Ophthalmology Dec 15, 2020
Assi L, Varadaraj V, Shakarchi AF, et al. - In this cross-sectional study, researchers intended to determine if there is an association between self-reported vision impairment and uptake of preventive care services (ie, breast and colon cancer screenings and influenza and pneumococcal vaccinations). Findings suggested that older Americans with vision impairment may be less likely than their counterparts without vision impairments to use cancer-related preventive services. Such results indicate that interventions to improve access to health information and healthcare services for people with vision impairment may be required to improve cancer screening in this population.
