Does early exposure to hearing, vision, or dual sensory impairments increase the risk of developing chronic diseases in middle-aged and elderly individuals?
Early exposure to sensory impairments increases the risk of chronic diseases, highlighting the need for continuous monitoring and timely intervention in aging populations.
This study provides evidence from epidemiological or genetic perspectives demonstrates that early exposure to HI/VI/DSI increases the risk of developing chronic diseases. These findings underscore the need for continuous monitoring and timely intervention for SI to manage chronic disease risks in aging populations.
