Key inclusion criteria

All participants were university students aged 20 and above, including a group of healthy individuals with no visual or hearing impairments, a group of visually impaired individuals (with corrected visual acuity of less than approximately 0.3 in both eyes), and a group of hearing impaired individuals (with a hearing level of approximately 60 decibels or higher in both ears).

Key exclusion criteria

Individuals with acute coronary syndromes such as unstable angina, those with musculoskeletal disorders under medical management, and those whom a physician deems inappropriate for participation in this study based on medical grounds.

Results

There were no differences in body composition among the three groups, indicating that there were no intergroup differences in physical function. However, the degree of arteriosclerosis was significantly higher in the hearing-impaired group compared to the healthy group. Among the three groups, the hearing-impaired group had the lowest physical activity level. Furthermore, cardiac parasympathetic activity was lower in the hearing-impaired group compared to the healthy group.

Baseline Characteristics

The participants were divided into three groups: 11 healthy individuals with no visual or hearing impairments, 10 individuals with visual impairments (corrected visual acuity in both eyes below approximately 0.3), and 13 individuals with hearing impairments (hearing level in both ears above approximately 60 decibels).

Participant flow

The recent observational study included 34 university students over the age of 20 who do not engage in regular exercise and who attended university in Japan, between May 2019 and January 2023.The participants were divided into three groups: 11 healthy individuals with no visual or hearing impairments, 10 individuals with visual impairments (corrected visual acuity in both eyes below approximately 0.3), and 13 individuals with hearing impairments (hearing level in both ears above approximately 60 decibels). Measurements were taken for limb muscle mass, body fat percentage, upper and lower limb muscle strength, balance ability, cardiac autonomic function, arteriosclerosis degree, physical activity level, and QOL. Each parameter was compared and analyzed among the groups. Exclusion criteria included individuals with acute coronary syndrome such as unstable angina, those with musculoskeletal disorders under medical management, and those whom a physician deemed unsuitable for participation in this study based on medical evidence.

Adverse events

None

Outcome measures

HRV analysis during the orthostatic tolerance test, appendicular muscle mass, body fat percentage, upper and lower limb muscle strength, balance ability, cardiac autonomic function, degree of arteriosclerosis, physical activity level, and QOL were evaluated and measured. Differences among the groups for each parameter were compared and analyzed.
