Abstract
Objective: To investigate the association between Healthy Eating Index 2015 scores and hearing loss.
Methods: This study used cross-sectional data from individuals aged over 20 years (n = 5171) who participated in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey from 1999 to 2012 and from 2015 to 2018. Information was collected on their hearing, Healthy Eating Index 2015 scores, and several other important covariates using multivariate regression analyses.
Results: After adjusting for potential confounders, when hearing loss was defined as ≥20 dB, the odds ratios for low-frequency and high-frequency hearing loss were 0.99 (95 per cent confidence interval (CI) = 0.98-0.99, p < 0.001) and 0.99 (95 per cent CI = 0.98-1, p = 0.006), respectively. When hearing loss was defined as >25 dB, the odds ratios for low-frequency hearing loss and speech-frequency band hearing loss were 0.98 (95 per cent CI = 0.98-0.99, p < 0.001) and 0.99 (95 per cent CI = 0.98-1, p = 0.008), respectively.
Conclusion: In U.S. adults, the Healthy Eating Index 2015 is associated with hearing loss.
目的:探讨健康饮食指数2015评分与听力损失的关系。方法:本研究使用1999 - 2012年和2015 - 2018年参加全国健康与营养检查调查的20岁以上个体(n = 5171)的横断面数据。使用多变量回归分析收集了他们的听力、健康饮食指数2015得分和其他几个重要协变量的信息。结果:调整潜在混杂因素后,当听力损失定义为≥20 dB时,低频和高频听力损失的优势比分别为0.99(95%置信区间(CI) = 0.98-0.99, p < 0.001)和0.99 (95% CI = 0.98-1, p = 0.006)。当听力损失定义为>25 dB时,低频听力损失和语频带听力损失的比值比分别为0.98 (95% CI = 0.98-0.99, p < 0.001)和0.99 (95% CI = 0.98-1, p = 0.008)。结论:在美国成年人中,2015年健康饮食指数与听力损失有关。
