aP value for age calculated by Analysis of Variance (ANOVA); Gender, Race, Education, Comorbidities, Marital Status, and Employment p values by Chi-squared tests.
bAge adjusted p values calculated by multinomial logistic regression.
cVision Impairment was defined as visual field loss worse than -5 dB in the better-eye, Hearing Impairment was defined as pure tone average threshold worse than 25 dB in the better-ear, Dual Impairment was the presence of both vision and hearing impairments.
