| الوصف: | Abstract Aging has been clearly associated with decline in visual and physical performance. Alteration of visual function is associated with negative health outcomes including physical frailty. We assessed the relationship between Visual Impairment (VI) and sarcopenia in older persons in Cameroon.

The diagnosis of sarcopenia was based on SPPB test score |
