Impact of smoking on age-related deterioration in hearing: A cohort study using health checkups
Objective
This study aimed to investigate the association between smoking status and hearing loss, both at baseline and annually, using longitudinal health checkup data.
Methods
We analyzed data from 2349 participants (9250 health checkups) aged 20 years and older who underwent comprehensive health checkups at Takinomiya General Hospital in Kagawa, Japan, between 2015 and 2023. Hearing thresholds at 1.0 kHz and 4.0 kHz were measured using pure-tone audiometry, where higher thresholds indicate worse hearing. Smoking status was categorized as never-smoker, past smoker, or current smoker (<10 or ≥10 cigarettes/day). Multilevel linear regression models adjusted for age, sex, occupation, and medical history were used to assess baseline differences and annual changes in hearing thresholds.
Results
At 1.0 kHz, smoking was not significantly associated with hearing thresholds. However, at 4.0 kHz, current smokers (≥10 cigarettes/day) had worse baseline hearing, with an adjusted threshold increase of 2.51 dB compared with never-smokers (p < 0.01). Additionally, past smokers and current smokers (≥10 cigarettes/day) experienced significantly faster deterioration in hearing annually at 4.0 kHz, with reductions of 0.73 dB/year (p < 0.01) and 0.78 dB/year (p < 0.01), respectively.
Discussion
These findings suggest that smoking is associated with high-frequency hearing impairment and may contribute to accelerated age-related hearing loss. The effect of smoking cessation was not evident in past smokers, and further studies are warranted to examine this hypothesis.
期刊介绍:
Archives of Gerontology and Geriatrics provides a medium for the publication of papers from the fields of experimental gerontology and clinical and social geriatrics. The principal aim of the journal is to facilitate the exchange of information between specialists in these three fields of gerontological research. Experimental papers dealing with the basic mechanisms of aging at molecular, cellular, tissue or organ levels will be published.
Clinical papers will be accepted if they provide sufficiently new information or are of fundamental importance for the knowledge of human aging. Purely descriptive clinical papers will be accepted only if the results permit further interpretation. Papers dealing with anti-aging pharmacological preparations in humans are welcome. Papers on the social aspects of geriatrics will be accepted if they are of general interest regarding the epidemiology of aging and the efficiency and working methods of the social organizations for the health care of the elderly.
