SENSORY AND COGNITIVE FUNCTION IN DEMENTIA: IMPLICATIONS FOR ASSESSMENT AND QUALITY OF LIFE (QOL)
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Older adults with hearing loss (HL), visual loss (VL), and/or cognitive impairment (CI) have poorer health outcomes. There is a strong relationship between HL, VL, CI, and incident dementia. Potential mechanisms include common biological substrates, exhaustion of cognitive reserve, and/or increased social isolation from communication difficulties. Our team examines co-relationships between HL/VL and CI in persons with dementia in the Canadian Consortium for Neurodegeneration in Aging (CCNA). We will review our recent work which has: 1) examined the relationship between CI and sensory loss on quality of care in home care; 2) examined the relationship between HL, VL, social network diversity, social participation, social support, and loneliness in the Canadian Longitudinal Study of Aging (CLSA); and 3) examines the incidence of HL and VL and their relationship with CI in CCNA participants. We will discuss the implications of our findings using these unique datasets for function and well-being.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
