Physical function mediates the effects of sensory impairment on quality of life in older adults: Cross-sectional study using propensity-score weighting.

The convergence of an increasing ageing population and the prevalence of sensory impairment presents a significant global health burden. This study demonstrated that physical function was a mediator of quality of life in older adults. Designing appropriate physical activity interventions for older adults with sensory impairment could serve to enhance physio-psychological health and improve quality of life.
