Visual Impairment and Real-World Home Physical Activity With Home Environment in an Older Population.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Physical activity levels are lower in visual impairment. However, additional factors, such as home environmental features, which can modify physical activity in this group, are unknown.

Objective

To investigate the association between home environment features and home physical activity in patients with visual impairment.

Design, setting, and participants

This cross-sectional study of clinical patients included participants with glaucoma suspect and primary glaucoma who were 60 years or older with varying degrees of visual field damage. Study participants were recruited from the Johns Hopkins Wilmer Eye Institute Glaucoma Clinic, Baltimore, Maryland, from September 2013 through March 2015.
