Association Between Central and Peripheral Age-Related Hearing Loss and Different Frailty Phenotypes in an Older Population in Southern Italy

Abstract

In this cross-sectional study of 1929 participants, age-related CAPD was independently associated with cognitive frailty. Whether the management of ARHL may help prevent the development of different frailty phenotypes or improve their clinical consequences should be addressed in longitudinal studies and, eventually, well-designed randomized clinical trials.
