Figure 2. Association of Age and Presence of Comorbidities With Low- and High-Frequency Hearing.

Figure 2.

A, Age was correlated with low-frequency pure-tone average (LFPTA) (r = 0.33; 95% CI, 0.25-0.42). B, When the sample was stratified by presence or absence of cardiovascular disease (CVD), age was only correlated with thresholds in those with disease (r = 0.34; 95% CI, 0.25-0.43) and not in healthy individuals (r = 0.07; 95% CI, −0.18 to 0.38). C, Age was correlated with high-frequency pure-tone average (HFPTA) (r = 0.27; 95% CI, 0.18-0.36). D, When the sample was stratified by presence or absence of CVD, age was only correlated with thresholds in those with disease (r = 0.30; 95% CI, 0.21-0.39) and not in healthy individuals (r = 0.04; 95% CI, −0.20 to 0.29). dB HL indicates decibels hearing loss; dots indicate individual patients.
