We repeated the adjusted models with one sociodemographic variable as an outcome: living alone, as it is apt to have clinical ramifications in our cognitively impaired sample.
For each study, the mean and SD for the age group norms closest in age to the hearing impaired sample was used for comparison.
Our somewhat weaker estimate of this association relative to others [ 32] may reflect our shorter follow-up time, choice of comparison (reference) group and more functionally impaired sample.
Further research could also look at the arsenic exposure, AS3MT polymorphisms, and cognition link in a cognitively impaired sample to test the arsenic exposure hypothesis further.
Causes of visual loss and eye disease in the rest of the visually impaired sample were: age related macular degeneration (AMD) (53%), cataract (36%), glaucoma (12%), myopic degeneration (4%) and diabetic eye disease (3%) [ 4].
Gender significantly influenced the frequency of low-HDL-cholesterol, high-LDL-cholesterol, and hypertriglyceridemia in the logistic regression models, but dividing the five quintiles of HbA1c in ten groups by gender would impair sample power for performing FA.
The purpose of this study was to determine the reliability and validity of selected pain intensity scales including the Faces Pain Scale Revised (FPS-R), Verbal Descriptor Scale (VDS), Numeric Rating Scale (NRS), and Iowa Pain Thermometer (IPT) with a cognitively impaired minority sample.
If anything, the data suggest that within this relatively impaired overall sample of treatment seekers, those with criminal justice involvement may have less impairment, and be more ready to benefit from a computer-delivered intervention.
However, one of the clusters (Cluster #3) was found to contain mostly non-diabetics and one glucose-tolerance impaired (IGT) sample.
