For both PTA-low and PTA-high, age, BMI, WC, VAT, HTN, and DM were correlated with hearing regardless of sex.
PTA-low, hearing thresholds at low frequencies; PTA-high, hearing thresholds at high frequencies; SE, standard error; BMI, body mass index; WC, waist circumference; TAT, total adipose tissue; VAT, visceral adipose tissue; SAT, subcutaneous adipose tissue; HTN, hypertension; DM, diabetes mellitus.
