Topic: Brain imaging, connectivity and assessment
Plain-language summary
Sensory impairments (e.g., decreased function in hearing, vision, olfaction, and other senses) may be risk factors for or early markers of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and related dementias (ADRD). Sensory impairments are common and have a large impact on wellbeing. Furthermore, they are clinically detectable and, often, treatable, and could be leveraged to identify and prevent AD/ADRD. This Supplement Issue brings together original research articles, reviews, and thought papers regarding the links between sensory impairments and cognitive health. Together, this work highlights the significant opportunities to use sensory information and remediation for earlier diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of dementia.

How this study scored 45/100
Published in a peer-reviewed journal. Scored zero for study design, sample size, effect reported, studied in people and randomized / blinded because the record does not state it. We have no data on journal's citation record, times cited, citations per year, impact for its field and year, cited by studies here, still being cited, senior author's track record, institution's track record, multicenter collaboration and free to read, so those were left out: it earned 25 of the 56 points we could judge it on, which is 45 out of 100.
