Figure. Multivariate mixed-effects models for adjusted mean (A) 3MS and (B) DSS scores by years of follow-up and hearing loss status.
3MS indicates Modified Mini-Mental State Examination. DSS indicates Digit Symbol Substitution test. Error bars indicate 95% confidence intervals. All models are adjusted for age, sex, race, education, study site, smoking status, hypertension, diabetes, and stroke history. The interaction term is between hearing loss and follow-up time.
