Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To examine the combined association of five healthy lifestyle behaviors with hearing loss (HL) in the UK Biobank cohort, established between 2006 and 2010 in the United Kingdom.</p>
METHODS: This longitudinal analysis included 61,958 participants aged 40 to 70 years from April 2007 to December 2016. The healthy behaviors examined were: never smoking, high level of physical activity, high diet quality, moderate alcohol intake, and optimal sleep. Hearing loss was self-reported at baseline and in any physical exam during the follow-up.</p>
RESULTS: Over a median follow-up of 3.9±2.5 years, 3072 (5.0%) participants reported incident HL. After adjustment for potential confounders, including age, social factors, exposure to high-intensity noise, ototoxic medication, and comorbidity, the HRs of HL associated with having 1, 2, 3, and 4 to 5 vs 0 behaviors were: 0.85 (95% CI, 0.75 to 0.96), 0.85 (95% CI, 0.75 to 0.96), 0.82 (95% CI, 0.71 to 0.94), and 0.80 (95% CI, 0.67 to 0.97), respectively (P for trend, 0.02). We estimated that the population attributable risk percent for not adhering to any five low-risk lifestyle behaviors was 15.6%.</p>
CONCLUSION: In this large study, an increasing number of healthy behaviors was associated with decreased risk of HL.</p>
