Genetic risk score for Alzheimer’s disease is associated with poor hearing

2019-02-22

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Introduction</h4> Incipient dementia or shared genetics may partly explain the association between hearing loss and dementia. We evaluated whether genetic variants known to increase Alzheimer’s disease (AD) also influence hearing difficulty. <h4>Methods</h4> UK Biobank participants aged 56+ with Caucasian genetic ancestry self-reported difficulty hearing and hearing with background noise (n=244,915) and unde...
