Association of atherosclerosis cardiovascular diseases with hearing loss in older people: a cross-sectional age-stratified analyses of 4,441 participants
The findings elucidate a complex interplay between cardiovascular health and auditory function, emphasizing that heart attacks may exacerbate HL through the frailty pathway in certain older populations. These results highlight the need for tailored cardiovascular interventions and proactive measures to mitigate HL risks. Future research should focus on defining these pathophysiological associations more clearly to develop targeted interventions for vulnerable older people.
