Uncovering the genetic relationship between dementia and age‐related hearing loss
This study has shown cognitive impairment to be significantly associated with the metabolic subtype of ARHL. Identifying correlated genetic variants and/or a causal link between these conditions will enhance our understanding of the biological mechanisms underlying the genetics of dementia and ARHL. Additionally, our findings may guide the development of improved dementia prediction tools through the incorporation of measures of hearing and genetic data.
