Olfactory Dysfunction Predicts 5-Year Mortality in Older Adults
Prediction of mortality has focused on disease and frailty, although antecedent biomarkers may herald broad physiological decline. Olfaction, an ancestral chemical system, is a strong candidate biomarker because it is linked to diverse physiological processes. We sought to determine if olfactory dysfunction is a harbinger of 5-year mortality in the National Social Life, Health and Aging Project...
متن کاملVision impairment predicts 5 year mortality.
AIM To describe predictors of mortality in the 5 year follow up of the Melbourne Visual Impairment Project (VIP) cohort. METHODS The Melbourne VIP was a population based study of the distribution and determinants of age related eye disease in a cluster random sample of Melbourne residents aged 40 years and older. Baseline examinations were conducted between 1992 and 1994. In 1997, 5 year foll...
متن کاملRisk factors for 5-year mortality in older adults: the Cardiovascular Health Study.
CONTEXT Multiple factors contribute to mortality in older adults, but the extent to which subclinical disease and other factors contribute independently to mortality risk is not known. OBJECTIVE To determine the disease, functional, and personal characteristics that jointly predict mortality in community-dwelling men and women aged 65 years or older. DESIGN Prospective population-based coho...
متن کاملPrevalence of olfactory impairment in older adults.
CONTEXT Older adults represent the fastest-growing segment of the US population, and prevalences of vision and hearing impairment have been extensively evaluated. However, despite the importance of sense of smell for nutrition and safety, the prevalence of olfactory impairment in older US adults has not been studied. OBJECTIVE To determine the prevalence of olfactory impairment in older adult...
متن کاملThe association between olfactory impairment and total mortality in older adults.
BACKGROUND Population-based data on the relationship between impaired olfaction and risk of mortality among older adults are lacking. We used a representative cohort of adults aged 60 years or older to assess whether olfactory loss is a predictor of mortality, independent of potential confounders. METHODS Olfaction was measured by the San Diego Odor Identification Test (SDOIT) among 1,636 par...
