The Sensory Aging Series is intended to promote discoverability of publically available datasets on aging that contain measures of sensory function. These data can be used to study the role of sensory function on health, disability, and economic well-being in older adults. The Sensory Aging Series is maintained by the SENSE Network (www.sensenetwork.org ), an international network supporting research examining the role of sensory functioning - vision, hearing, olfaction, touch, taste, and vestibular function - on health and aging.
The studies associated with this series have been identified as having variables which represent measures of sensory health. Data users should refer to each study’s documentation and methodology to determine the most appropriate way to utilize the data.
