Regression models for GLOBAL β-amyloid and Tau SUVR based on word recognition score hearing.
| Model | Global β-amyloid SUVR difference per 10 dB worsening in word recognition score (95% CI) | P | Global Tau SUVR difference per 10 dB worsening in word recognition score (95% CI) | P |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1. Univariable: pure-tone average | 0.054 (0.016–0.100) | 0.007** | 0.052 (0.014–0.009) | 0.005** |
| 2. Multivariable (model 1 + age, gender) | 0.063 (0.018–0.104) | 0.004** | 0.059 (0.016–0.101) | 0.004** |
| 3. Multivariable (model 2 + education, cardiovascular disease) | 0.064 (0.018–0.106) | 0.006** | 0.062 (0.019–0.104) | 0.009** |
| 4. Multivariable (model 3 + hearing aid use) [fully adjusted model] | 0.060 (0.008–0.113) | 0.023* | 0.059 (0.009–0.111) | 0.031* |
