Multidimensional relationships between sensory perception and cognitive aging

Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience
A growing literature suggests that declines in sensory/perceptual systems predate cognitive declines in aging, and furthermore, they are highly predictive for developing Alzheimer’s disease and Alzheimer’s related dementias (ADRD). While vision, hearing,
