A new study adds to growing evidence of the link between vision problems and dementia.
Losing the ability to see is one of the most preventable health issues as we get older. What's more, a link between vision issues and dementia is being strengthened by a growing number of studies.
All of the older adults in the study were over the age of 71 with an average age of 77. Participants were tested on their up-close and distance vision, as well as their ability to see letters that did not contrast strongly with their background. Although 12 percent of the group had dementia, the rate was nearly 22 percent among those who had impaired up-close vision.
