<scp>Self‐reported</scp> dual sensory impairment, dementia, and functional limitations in Medicare beneficiaries

Abstract

Older adults with dual sensory impairment had greater functional limitations compared with those without sensory impairment and those with a single sensory impairment. Strategies to improve visual and/or hearing function (e.g., sensory aids, rehabilitation) could potentially help prevent or minimize disability, even among those with dementia.
