Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The relationships of hypertension and its temporal (duration), phenotypic (stage), and hemodynamic (pulse pressure) parameter with hearing loss (HL) remain unclear. We aimed to (1) characterize hypertension parameter-specific effects on HL, and (2) quantify contribution of hypertension in mediating the association between abnormal BMI and HL, given that abnormal BMI has been associated with an...
