PURPOSE: To test the reliability and validity of questionnaires shortened from the National Eye Institute 25-item Vision Function Questionnaire (NEI VFQ-25). DESIGN: Cross-sectional, multicenter cohort study. METHODS: Reliability was assessed by Cronbach alpha coefficients. Validity was evaluated by studying the association of vision-targeted quality-of-life composite scores with objective visual function measurements. A total of 5482 women between the ages of 65 and 100 years participated in the year-10 clinic visit in the Study of Osteoporotic Fractures (SOF). A total of 3631 women with complete data were included in the visual acuity (VA) and visual field (VF) analyses of the 9-item NEI VFQ (NEI VFQ-9), which is defined for those who care to drive, and a total of 5311 women with complete data were included in the VA and VF in the analyses of the 8-item NEI VFQ (NEI VFQ-8). To assess differences in prevalent eye diseases, which were ascertained for a random sample of SOF participants, 853 and 1237 women were included in the NEI VFQ-9 and the NEI VFQ-8 analyses, respectively. RESULTS: The Cronbach alpha coefficient for the NEI VFQ-9 scale was 0.83, and that of the NEI VFQ-8 was 0.84. Using both questionnaires, women with VA worse than 20/40 had lower composite scores compared with those with VA of 20/40 or better (P < .001). Participants with mild, moderate, and severe binocular VF loss had lower composite scores compared with those with no binocular VF loss (P < .001). Compared with women without chronic eye diseases in both eyes, women with at least 1 chronic eye disease in at least 1 eye had lower composite scores. CONCLUSIONS: Both questionnaires showed high reliability across items and validity with respect to clinical markers of eye disease. Future research should compare the properties of these shortened surveys with those of the NEI VFQ-25. (Am J Ophthalmol 2010;149:330-340. (C) 2010 by Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.)

The Association Between Severity of Radiographic Knee OA and Recurrent Falls in Middle and Older Aged Adults: The Osteoarthritis Initiative

Rebekah Harris, Elsa S. Strotmeyer, Leena Sharma, C. Kent Kwoh, Jennifer S. Brach, Robert Boudreau, Jane A. Cauley

Summary: This study examined how the severity of radiographic knee osteoarthritis (KOA) affects recurrent falls in middle-aged and older individuals. The results showed that older adults with radiographic evidence of KOA had a higher likelihood of experiencing recurrent falls compared to those without KOA, regardless of established risk factors. On the other hand, middle-aged adults with KOA did not have an increased odds of recurrent falls, except for those with possible KOA.

Characteristics Associated With 5-Year Fracture Risk Versus 5-Year Mortality Risk Among Late-Life Men

Lisa Langsetmo, John T. Schousboe, Brent C. Taylor, Jane A. Cauley, Howard A. Fink, Peggy M. Cawthon, Marcia L. Stefanick, Deborah M. Kado, Allyson M. Kats, Kristine E. Ensrud

Summary: This study evaluated the risks of clinical fracture, hip fracture, and mortality prior to fracture among men aged at least 80 years. The results showed that fall history, hip bone mineral density, and recent fracture were strong predictors of clinical fracture and hip fracture. Age and multimorbidity were strong predictors of mortality before fracture. The study results have important implications for guiding osteoporosis drug treatment decisions.

Sleep Arousal-Related Ventricular Repolarization Lability Is Associated With Cardiovascular Mortality in Older Community-Dwelling Men

Sobhan Salari Shahrbabaki, Dominik Linz, Susan Redline, Katie Stone, Kristine Ensrud, Mathias Baumert

Summary: Arousal during sleep triggers ventricular repolarization lability, which may increase the risk of long-term cardiovascular mortality. The QT variability index during arousal is independently associated with all-cause and cardiovascular mortality, indicating maladaptation of ventricular repolarization to the arousal stimulus. Further study is needed to determine if arousal suppression can reduce ventricular repolarization lability and subsequent mortality, and if arousal-related QT variability index can be used for more accurate risk stratification.

Drusen and Other Retinal Findings in People With IgA Glomerulonephritis

Ursula Greferath, Erica Fletcher, Judy Savige, Heather G. Mack

Summary: Retinal drusen are uncommon in IgA nephropathy, but they resemble drusen found in age-related macular degeneration. The IgA-staining deposits in the drusen are likely related to systemic deposition of IgA. The nature of cystic spaces in the drusen is still unknown. Further research on the retinas of people with glomerulonephritis is recommended.
