Visual Impairment, Hearing Loss and Cognitive Function in an Older Population: Longitudinal Findings from the Blue Mountains Eye Study
TL;DR: Neither visual impairment, hearing loss nor dual sensory impairment was independently associated with subsequent decline in cognition and there were no changes to these findings after adjustment for other potential confounders.
Visual impairment and the incidence of falls and fractures among older people: longitudinal findings from the Blue Mountains Eye Study.
TL;DR: In this older cohort, recent development of visual impairment was associated with increased likelihood of subsequent falls and fractures in the next 5 years, independent of other confounding variables.

A Review and Meta-analysis of the Association Between C-Reactive Protein and Age-related Macular Degeneration
TL;DR: A meta-analysis of evidence shows that high serum levels of CRP are associated with a two-fold likelihood of late onset AMD, compared to low levels, and sub-group meta-analyses show a higher association in studies using ophthalmoscopic examination, compared with those using photographic grading.

Nichole Joachim,Paul Mitchell,Annette Kifley,Elena Rochtchina,Thomas Hong,Jie Jin Wang,Jie Jin Wang +6 more
TL;DR: Early AMD lesion characteristics were strongly associated with higher long-term risk of developing GA independent of age, smoking, and AMD genetic susceptibility from the CFH or ARMS2 genes.
