Abstract

Introduction: This study aimed to determine whether the concomitance of hearing impairment and isolation with lack of conversation, which is considered self-evident but has not been investigated extensively, is associated with the occurrence of dementia.

Methods: A total of 2745 participants were divided into four groups according to the presence/absence of hearing impairment and isolation with lack of conversation. The association of dementia with hearing impairment and isolation with lack of conversation was analyzed using Cox proportional hazards regression.

Results: The combined hearing impairment and isolation with lack of conversation (hazard ratio: 1.69, 95% confidence interval: 1.09-2.61) and non-hearing impairment and isolation with lack of conversation (hazard ratio: 1.60, 95% confidence: 1.07-2.39) were associated with the development of dementia.

Discussion: These findings emphasize the importance of promoting high-quality social relationships throughout life by adopting preventive measures against isolation with lack of conversation from the early stage of awareness of hearing impairment.

Highlights: Dementia affects 12.9% of those with hearing impairment and isolation.Hearing impairment and isolation are associated with increased risk of dementia.Addressing these risk factors may help reduce the risk of developing dementia.Preventing isolation and promoting quality social relationships is important.

听力障碍和社会隔离带来的痴呆症风险。

简介：本研究旨在确定听力障碍和孤独感是否与痴呆症的发生有关：本研究旨在确定听力障碍和与世隔绝、缺乏交谈这两种被认为是不言而喻但尚未得到广泛研究的情况是否与痴呆症的发生有关：方法：根据是否存在听力障碍和缺乏交谈的孤独感，将 2745 名参与者分为四组。结果：听力障碍和与世隔绝、不与人交谈与痴呆症之间的关系是由听力障碍和与世隔绝、不与人交谈与痴呆症之间的关系决定的：结果：听力受损和与世隔绝且缺乏交谈（危险比：1.69，95% 置信区间：1.09-2.61）以及非听力受损和与世隔绝且缺乏交谈（危险比：1.60，95% 置信区间：1.07-2.39）与痴呆症的发生有关：讨论：这些研究结果表明，在早期发现听力障碍时就采取预防措施，避免因缺乏交谈而被孤立，从而促进终生高质量社会关系的重要性：患痴呆症的人中有 12.9%患有听力障碍和孤独症，听力障碍和孤独症与痴呆症风险的增加有关。

期刊介绍： Alzheimer''s & Dementia: Diagnosis, Assessment & Disease Monitoring (DADM) is an open access, peer-reviewed, journal from the Alzheimer''s Association® that will publish new research that reports the discovery, development and validation of instruments, technologies, algorithms, and innovative processes. Papers will cover a range of topics interested in the early and accurate detection of individuals with memory complaints and/or among asymptomatic individuals at elevated risk for various forms of memory disorders. The expectation for published papers will be to translate fundamental knowledge about the neurobiology of the disease into practical reports that describe both the conceptual and methodological aspects of the submitted scientific inquiry. Published topics will explore the development of biomarkers, surrogate markers, and conceptual/methodological challenges. Publication priority will be given to papers that 1) describe putative surrogate markers that accurately track disease progression, 2) biomarkers that fulfill international regulatory requirements, 3) reports from large, well-characterized population-based cohorts that comprise the heterogeneity and diversity of asymptomatic individuals and 4) algorithmic development that considers multi-marker arrays (e.g., integrated-omics, genetics, biofluids, imaging, etc.) and advanced computational analytics and technologies.
