Lipid metabolism and hearing loss: association of non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (NHHR) with adolescent hearing health.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The ratio of non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (NHHR) is a novel lipid measure for assessing the risk of cardiovascular disease. Lipid metabolism disorders are reportedly associated with hearing impairment. This study aimed to investigate the potential association between NHHR and hearing.

Methods

The data used in this study were obtained from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) cycles of 2005-2010 and 2017-2018, including 4,296 participants aged 6-19 years. The NHHR was calculated from lipid profiles, and hearing was assessed using pure-tone audiometry. Weighted multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to investigate the association between the NHHR and hearing loss. Subgroup and
