Maharani A, et al. - Researchers investigated if single and dual sensory impairment (hearing and/or vision) are independently related to cognitive decline among older adults. They also described cognitive trajectories according to their impairment pattern, using data from respondents aged 50+ at baseline from the Health and Retirement Study (HRS), the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing (ELSA) and the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARE), respectively. Compared with the respondents without sensory impairment, lower episodic memory score were found in respondents with a single sensory impairment. Those who had dual sensory impairment vs those with no sensory impairment remembered fewer words. Overall, hearing and/or vision impairments were recognized as a marker for the risk of cognitive decline.
