Vision Impairment, Vision Correction, and Dementia Risk in Mild Cognitive Impairment
Abstract
Among individuals with mild cognitive impairment, no vision impairment (VI) and corrected VI were associated with a lower risk of dementia than uncorrected VI, particularly among those aged < 75 years.
From the paper
- Follow-up
Over a median follow-up of 2.3 years, 3327 (42.6%) individuals developed dementia (Supplementary Table S1).
- Result
Compared to uncorrected VI, no VI or corrected VI were associated with lower risk of dementia, although neither association reached statistical significance with an adjusted HR of 0.77 (95% CI, 0.58–1.02) and 0.79 (95% CI, 0.60–1.03), respectively (Figure 1).
