Subclinical Hearing Loss, Longer Sleep Duration, and Cardiometabolic Risk Factors in Japanese General Population
Figure 2
Prevalence of hearing loss according to age group. The number of subjects is shown under the column for hearing loss at 4000 Hz in the left ear (top-left panel). The numbers of subjects included in the other panels were identical. The percentage (%) above the column expresses the average of prevalence of hearing loss according to the age group. The prevalence of hearing loss at 4000 Hz, but not at 1000 Hz, increased significantly with increasing sleep duration in most age groups ( test). Left ear at 4000 Hz: 20–39 years, ; all other age groups, . Right ear at 4000 Hz: all age groups, . Left ear at 1000 Hz: 20–39 years, ; 40–49 years, ; 50–59 years, ; 60–79 years, . Right ear at 1000 Hz: 20–39 years, ; 40–49 years, ; 50–59 years, ; 60–79 years, . y.o.: years old.
