Midlife hearing loss and dementia risk

Research output: Contribution to journal › Comment/debate › peer-review

Abstract

Hearing loss is common among older adults and has reported associations with a higher risk of dementia. Machado-Fragua et al. offer evidence that shows midlife hearing loss is modestly associated with a higher incidence of late-life dementia, and highlight considerations of duration of exposure, measurement, intervention timing and public health awareness for dementia risk reduction.
