The Association of Impaired Vibration Sensation in the Lower Limb with Tests of Cognition in Older People: The Cardiovascular Health Study.

Introduction: The prevalence of peripheral neuropathy (PN) in the lower limb increases with age and with the presence of diabetes. Studies show an association of PN with advanced cognitive impairment. Here we examine the association of PN with measures of early cognitive deficits in a cohort of older adults without apparent cognitive impairment, with or without diabetes.
