Association between high systolic blood pressure and objective hearing impairment among Japanese adults: a facility-based retrospective cohort study
2022
Overview
This retrospective longitudinal study examined the association between systolic blood pressure and hearing impairment among 13,187 Japanese individuals (men, 46.5%) aged 20-59 years. The systolic blood pressure of participants was categorized as <120, 120-129, 130-139, 140-149, 150-159, and ≥160 mmHg. Using pure-tone audiometry, hearing impairment at 1 and 4 kHz was defined as hearing thresholds in either ear >30 and >40 dB, respectively. We performed multivariable Cox proportional-hazards regression analysis to examine the association using two multiple-imputation methods (fully conditional specification and Markov chain Monte Carlo). There were 695 and 774 hearing-impairment cases at 1 and 4 kHz, respectively, during ~77,000 person-years of follow-up. Compared with the <120 mmHg group, the hazard ratios (95% confidence intervals) of hearing impairment for the 120-129, 130-139, 140-149, 150-159, and ≥160 mmHg groups after adjustment for age, sex, body mass index, high serum glucose, current smoking, and other potential confounders were 1.35 (1.12-1.63), 1.45 (1.13-1.86), 1.07 (0.73-1.58), 1.91 (1.18-3.07), and 1.81 (1.01-3.25), respectively, at 1 kHz using the first imputation method; 1.36 (1.13-1.63), 1.48 (1.17-1.86), 1.09 (0.76-1.58), 1.99 (1.29-3.06), and 1.92 (1.08-3.41), respectively, at 1 kHz using the second imputation method; 1.04 (0.86-1.24), 1.14 (0.91-1.43), 1.13 (0.83-1.54), 1.45 (0.96-2.19), and 1.35 (0.82-2.23), respectively, at 4 kHz using the first imputation method; and 1.03 (0.86-1.24), 1.17 (0.95-1.44), 1.15 (0.87-1.53), 1.54 (1.06-2.24), and 1.44 (0.88-2.35), respectively, at 4 kHz using the second imputation method. In conclusion, higher systolic blood pressure was associated with hearing impairment at 1 kHz. No clear association was observed at 4 kHz.
