Mild hearing loss or moderate to severe hearing loss and the multivariate analysis was adjusted for age, sex, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels, triglyceride levels, estimated glomerular filtration rate, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, body mass index, alcohol consumption, smoking behavior, glycated hemoglobin levels, and exposure to explosives or occupational noise.
