A recent article in\n            <jats:italic>Stroke<\/jats:italic>\n            reported an increased incidence of stroke among patients with sudden hearing loss over a 5-year follow-up period. Our study aimed to explore this association among subjects with age-related hearing loss from a representative population. Further, we looked at the association between severity of hearing loss and risk of stroke in older persons, acknowledged as a limitation by the authors of the\n            <jats:italic>Stroke<\/jats:italic>\n            report.\n          <\/jats:p>\n          <jats:p>\n            <jats:bold>\n              <jats:italic>Methods\u2014<\/jats:italic>\n            <\/jats:bold>\n            The Blue Mountains Hearing Study is a population-based survey of age-related hearing loss conducted during 1997 to 1999 and 2002 to 2004, among participants of the Blue Mountains Eye Study. Pure-tone air conduction hearing thresholds from 0.25 to 8.0 kHz were measured by audiologists. Hearing loss was defined as the pure-tone average of frequencies 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, and 4.0 kHz &gt;25 dB HL in the better ear.\n          <\/jats:p>\n          <jats:p>\n            <jats:bold>\n              <jats:italic>Results\u2014<\/jats:italic>\n            <\/jats:bold>\n            Persons with moderate to severe hearing loss had a significantly higher likelihood of reporting previous stroke (OR, 2.04; 95% CI, 1.20\u20133.49) after multivariable adjustment. However, moderate to severe hearing loss did not predict incident stroke after 5-year follow-up (OR, 1.14; 95% CI, 0.59\u20132.23).\n          <\/jats:p>\n          <jats:p>\n            <jats:bold>\n              <jats:italic>Conclusions\u2014<\/jats:italic>\n            <\/jats:bold>\n            We observed a strong cross-sectional association between stroke and moderate to severe hearing loss. However, age-related hearing loss did not increase risk of incident stroke in our cohort. Insufficient study power or differing underlying pathologies of sudden sensorineural hearing loss and typical age-related hearing loss may account for the discrepant findings between these studies.\n          <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1161\/strokeaha.108.535682","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,2,27]],"date-time":"2009-02-27T02:58:37Z","timestamp":1235703517000},"page":"1496-1498","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1161\/crossmarkpolicy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":54,"title":["Association Between Age-Related Hearing Loss and Stroke in an Older Population"],"prefix":"10.1161","volume":"40","author":[{"given":"Bamini","family":"Gopinath","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"From Centre for Vision Research (B.G., E.R., P.M.), Department of Ophthalmology, and Westmead Millennium Institute and Australian Health Policy Institute (B.G., J.S., S.R.L.), University of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Julie","family":"Schneider","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From Centre for Vision Research (B.G., E.R., P.M.), Department of Ophthalmology, and Westmead Millennium Institute and Australian Health Policy Institute (B.G., J.S., S.R.L.), University of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Elena","family":"Rochtchina","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From Centre for Vision Research (B.G., E.R., P.M.), Department of Ophthalmology, and Westmead Millennium Institute and Australian Health Policy Institute (B.G., J.S., S.R.L.), University of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Stephen R.","family":"Leeder","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From Centre for Vision Research (B.G., E.R., P.M.), Department of Ophthalmology, and Westmead Millennium Institute and Australian Health Policy Institute (B.G., J.S., S.R.L.), University of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Paul","family":"Mitchell","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From Centre for Vision Research (B.G., E.R., P.M.), Department of Ophthalmology, and Westmead Millennium Institute and Australian Health Policy Institute (B.G., J.S., S.R.L.), University of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_2_1_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1161\/01.str.0000038692.17290.24"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1161\/strokeaha.108.519090"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0161-6420(96)30684-2"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00129492-200503000-00004"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159\/000106478"}],"container-title":["Stroke"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.ahajournals.org\/doi\/full\/10.1161\/STROKEAHA.108.535682","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2024,5,13]],"date-time":"2024-05-13T12:14:06Z","timestamp":1715602446000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.ahajournals.org\/doi\/10.1161\/STROKEAHA.108.535682"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2009,4]]},"references-count":5,"journal-issue":{"issue":"4","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2009,4]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1161\/STROKEAHA.108.535682"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1161\/strokeaha.108.535682","relation":{},"ISSN":["0039-2499","1524-4628"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0039-2499","type":"print"},{"value":"1524-4628","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2009,4]]},"assertion":[{"value":"2008-08-26","order":0,"name":"received","label":"Received","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}},{"value":"2008-09-12","order":1,"name":"accepted","label":"Accepted","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}},{"value":"2009-02-26","order":2,"name":"published","label":"Published","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}}]}}
