Describing tinnitus in relation to characteristics and comorbidities can help the treatment and prognosis of teachers affected by this symptom.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Objective\u2003To verify a possible association between tinnitus complaint and body mass index (BMI) in teachers.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Methods\u2003Cross-sectional study with a sample of teachers who responded to the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) and to the Tinnitus Handicap Inventory (THI). The BMI (kg\/m2) was calculated based on self-reported body weight (in kilograms) divided by height (in meters squared). Nonparametric statistics were applied adopting a significance level\u2009&lt;\u20090.05<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Results\u2003A total of 83 teachers were assessed, with a mean age 48\u2009\u00b1\u20099.7 years old; 63.9% (n= 53) were females; 44.6% were eutrophic (n\u2009=\u200937), and 16.9% (n\u2009=\u200914) were obese. Of the total, 19.3% (n\u2009=\u200916) reported tinnitus. No differences were found between the groups and BMI (p\u2009&gt;\u20090.05), although there was a significant difference between the Tinnitus and No Tinnitus groups for age (p\u2009&lt;\u20090.001). The chi-squared test showed an association between age group and tinnitus (p\u2009&lt;\u20090.028); those with tinnitus were in the 49 to 65 years old age group. In addition, there was a moderate correlation between tinnitus parameters (VAS; THI-Functional; THI-Total) and BMI.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Conclusion\u2003There was a moderate correlation between tinnitus parameters and BMI indicating that, as the BMI increased, so did the impact of tinnitus in the lives of the teachers. Body mass index should be considered a factor in tinnitus assessment and rehabilitation process.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0040-1722251","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,6,28]],"date-time":"2021-06-28T22:48:48Z","timestamp":1624920528000},"page":"e063-e068","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Do Body Mass Index Levels Correlate with Tinnitus Among Teachers?"],"prefix":"10.1055","volume":"26","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9026-0468","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Luciana Lozza de Moraes","family":"Marchiori","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Interdisciplinary Health Promotion Intervention Laboratory, Universidade Cesumar, Maring\u00e1, PR, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2987-1665","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Gl\u00f3ria de Moraes","family":"Marchiori","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Interdisciplinary Health Promotion Intervention Laboratory, Universidade Cesumar, Maring\u00e1, PR, Brazil"},{"name":"Scholarship Undergraduate Research, Universidade Cesumar, Maring\u00e1, PR, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0622-9597","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Priscila","family":"Carlos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Interdisciplinary Health Promotion Intervention Laboratory, Universidade Cesumar, Maring\u00e1, PR, Brazil"},{"name":"Scholarship Undergraduate Research, Universidade Cesumar, Maring\u00e1, PR, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2666-7896","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Samuel Lopes","family":"Benites","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Interdisciplinary Health Promotion Intervention Laboratory, Universidade Cesumar, Maring\u00e1, PR, Brazil"},{"name":"Postgraduation Program in Health Sciences, Universidade Estadual de Maring\u00e1, Maring\u00e1, PR, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2658-5337","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marina Stephany Bobroff","family":"Mendes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Doctoral and Master\u2019s programs in Rehabilitation Sciences, Universidade Estadual de Londrina\/ Universidade Pit\u00e1goras Unopar, Londrina, Paran\u00e1, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3280-7218","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Daiane Soares de Almeida","family":"Ciquinato","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Doctoral and Master\u2019s programs in Rehabilitation Sciences, Universidade Estadual de Londrina\/ Universidade Pit\u00e1goras Unopar, Londrina, Paran\u00e1, Brazil"},{"name":"Departament of Occupational Health, Prefecture of Cambe, Cambe, PR, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"194","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,6,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"855","DOI":"10.2147\/CLEP.S213136","article-title":"A study on the epidemiology of tinnitus in the United Kingdom","volume":"11","author":"N A Stohler","year":"2019","journal-title":"Clin Epidemiol"},{"issue":"05","key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e0127578","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0127578","article-title":"Analysis of the prevalence and associated risk factors of tinnitus in adults","volume":"10","author":"H J Kim","year":"2015","journal-title":"PLoS One"},{"volume-title":"Tinnitus.
