Regression models for global β-amyloid and Tau SUVR based on pure-tone average hearing.
| Model | Global β- Amyloid SUVR difference per 10 dB worsening in pure-tone average (95% CI) | P | Global Tau SUVR difference per 10 db worsening in pure-tone average (95% CI) | P |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1. Univariable: pure-tone average | 0.023 (0.00–0.051) | 0.047 | 0.022 (0.00–0.048) | 0.053 |
| 2. Multivariable (model 1 + age, gender) | 0.027 (0.003–0.054) | 0.028* | 0.024 (0.002–0.053) | 0.041* |
| 3. Multivariable (model 2 + education, cardiovascular disease) | 0.031 (0.004–0.059) | 0.012* | 0.029 (0.006–0.058) | 0.029* |
| 4. Multivariable (model 3 + hearing aid use) [fully adjusted model] | 0.028 (0.004–0.061) | 0.026* | 0.026 (0.003–0.056) | 0.033* |
