The association between baseline sensory difficulties and motor impairments, individually and collectively, with dementia over up to 11 years is examined.
Abstract
Sensorimotor impairments, including sensory (vision and hearing) and motor (standing balance, gait, chair stands, grip strength) deficits, are prevalent in older adults and are associated with an increased risk of dementia. Understanding the individual and combined effects of these impairments on dementia risk may enhance early detection and preventive strategies. We examined the association between baseline sensory difficulties and motor impairments, individually and collectively, with dementia over up to 11 years.
