The mean values found for mesopic visual acuity -considerably lesser than the ones obtained by subjects in the photopic test- present also a decreasing trend with age, if the first three groups (ranging between M = [8.12–8.21]) are compared with adults over 65 ( M = 5.25).

Regarding age ( Table 3 ), for participants aged 65 years or older, only mobility showed a significant difference in terms of disability level between the two groups ( p < 0.05); moreover, although statistically nonsignificant, the relationship domain showed a higher disability level in the ABI group than that in the SCI group, with a p-value of 0.05, very close to statistical significance.

In another meta-analysis that studied marital status, no association was found in either ideation or suicidal attempts, although in the case of ideation it was very close to significance [ 105 ].
