“…Therefore, good health services are needed for patients with VI and hearing loss to improve their health status and quality of life. At present, mental problems are a great global public health concern, and our study showed a 0.6-fold increased risk of psychological disorders in patients with VI, consistent with previous reports [ 40 , 41 ], which reminds the whole society and family to pay attention to the mental health of patients with VI.…”

Background Although several studies have reported the relationship between vision impairment (VI) and multimorbidity in high-income countries, this relationship has not been reported in low- and middle-income countries. This study aimed to explore the relationship between VI with multimorbidity and chronic conditions among the elderly Chinese population. Methods The cross-sectional analysis was applied to data from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS) in 2018. A total of 8,108 participants ≥ 60 years old were included, and 15 chronic conditions were used in this study. Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the relationship between VI with multimorbidity and chronic conditions. Results The prevalence of 15 chronic conditions and multimorbidity was higher among the elderly with VI than those without VI. After adjusting for demographic and socioeconomic confounders, 10 chronic conditions were associated with VI (all P < 0.05). Furthermore, positive association was observed between VI and one (odds ratio [OR]: 1.52; 95% confidence intervals [95%CI]: 1.16–2.00; P = 0.002), two (OR: 2.09; 95%CI: 1.61–2.71; P < 0.001), three (OR: 2.87; 95%CI: 2.22–3.72; P < 0.001), four (OR: 3.60; 95%CI: 2.77–4.69; P < 0.001), and five or more (OR: 5.53; 95%CI: 4.32–7.09; P < 0.001) chronic conditions, and the association increased as the number of chronic conditions (P for trend < 0.001). Sensitivity analysis stratified by gender, education, smoking status, and annual per capita household expenditure still found VI to be positively associated with multimorbidity. Conclusions For patients older than 60 years, VI was independently associated with multimorbidity and various chronic conditions. This result has important implications for healthcare resource plans and clinical practice, for example, increased diabetes and kidney function screening for patients with VI.

“…Cognitive decline is a well‐established predictor for the development of dementia. 16 Objective measures of sensory decline, such as visual acuity and auditory acuity, have been shown to be predictive of cognitive functioning cross‐sectionally 17 and up to 6 years later. 18 However, evidence suggests that subjective reports of sensory and cognitive impairment begin earlier than measurable differences in objective impairment such as cognitive scoring.…”

INTRODUCTIONSubjective hearing and memory problems are detectable earlier than objective measures of sensory loss and cognitive decline, which are known to be related to an increased risk of dementia in later life.METHODSUsing a population‐representative cohort of 6006 individuals (aged 50–75) we examined whether participants who self‐reported hearing and short‐term memory issues showed greater rates of dementia within 17 years of follow‐up. A sub‐cohort was tested for audiometric threshold and cognition after 14 years.RESULTSHearing and memory problems were associated with a greater risk of dementia (hazard ratios [HRs] = 1.42 [95% confidence interval: 1.11–1.81], 1.57 [1.30–1.90]), and poorer cognition 14 years later. The risk was greatest in those reporting both problems (HR = 1.99 [1.42–2.80]). At follow‐up, the level of hearing loss was associated with lower cognitive scores.DISCUSSIONSelf‐reports of hearing and short‐term memory problems are associated with poorer cognitive performance and a greater risk of dementia. Subjective assessments may have predictive power over more than a decade.Highlights In a sample of older adults subjective hearing and memory problems were associated with dementia risk. Cross‐sectionally, the audiometric screening threshold was associated with cognitive test scores. Subjective sensory and memory loss questions are easy to implement and show good predictive power.
