Note: Significant probabilities are marked in bold
HFHL high-frequency hearing loss, HFHL was defined as more than 40 dB loss in the better ear
SFHL speech-frequency hearing loss, SFHL was defined as more than 40 dB loss in the better ear
Model 1: unadjusted model
Model 2: adjusted for BMI, marital status, living alone, monthly income, education, drinking, smoking, IPAQ, ADL, IADL, diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and stroke
