Long-term impact of arthritis on sensory function: Evidence from the Chinese elderly population.

Key Points

• The aim is to understand how arthritis affects sensory functions like hearing, vision, and skin sensitivity in older adults.
• Analyzed sensory functions (hearing loss, visual loss, dry skin) in older adults with arthritis.
• Utilized data from the Chinese elderly population.
• Recommended early prevention strategies and multidisciplinary care.
• Arthritis is significantly linked to hearing loss, visual loss, and dry skin.
• Negative impacts on sensory function are sustained over time.
