Any among the factors relevant to abdominal fat was not correlated with PTA-low, meanwhile, all factors except TAT were significantly correlated with PTA-high.
PTA-low, hearing thresholds at low frequencies; PTA-high, hearing thresholds at high frequencies; SE, standard error; HTN, hypertension; DM, diabetes mellitus; BMI, body mass index; WC, waist circumference; TAT, total adipose tissue; VAT, visceral adipose tissue.
