Could links between our senses & cognitive health explain parts of how we age? Experts like the sound ( & sight) of that, according to new AGS report

We work diligently at the American Geriatrics Society (AGS) to advance high-quality, person-centered care for older people across several forums, including many that help us translate research into clinical expertise. Since the early 2000s, one such forum has been our series of bench-to-beside U13 conferences hosted by the AGS with support from the National Institute on Aging and other collaborators from the National Institutes of Health (NIH).1 And experts gathered at one such conference, hosted in October 2017, hope their work – recently reported in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society – will have colleagues seeing eye-to-eye on an important but under-researched area of health care: The link between impaired vision, hearing, and cognition.
