Resumen:
The authors investigated the association between vision impairment and
physical activity among older adults from low- and middle-income
countries. Visual acuity was measured using the tumbling ElogMAR chart,
and vision impairment was defined as visual acuity worse than 6/18 (0.48
logMAR) in the better seeing eye. Physical activity was assessed by the
Global Physical Activity Questionnaire. Multivariable logistic
regression and meta-analysis were conducted to assess associations. The
sample included 34,129 individuals aged 50-114 years (mean [SD] age
62.4 [16.0] years; 47.9% male). After adjustment for confounders,
near vision impairment was not significantly associated with low
physical activity, but far vision impairment showed a significant
association (odds ratio = 1.32; 95% confidence interval [1.17, 1.49],
P = 0.0%). Far vision impairment was dose-dependently associated with
low physical activity (e.g., severe [<6/10] vs. no [>= 6/12] far
vision impairment; odds ratio =1.80; 95% confidence interval [1.03,
3.15]). Interventions to address low levels of physical activity in the
visually impaired in low- and middle-income countries should target
those with far vision impairment.
