Analysis of data from a nationally representative sample of US adults (n=195801) showed that concurrent hearing and visual impairment prevalence rates were highest for participants older than 79 years of age (16.6%); a 3-fold increase in age-adjusted rates of reported hearing and visual impairment was observed for Native Americans compared with Asian Americans. Research on preventing concurrent hearing and visual impairment and countering its consequences is warranted, especially in population subgroups, such as Native and older Americans.
对来自美国成年人全国代表性样本(n = 195801)的数据进行分析表明,79岁以上参与者的听力和视力并发障碍患病率最高(16.6%);与亚裔美国人相比,美国原住民报告的听力和视力障碍年龄调整患病率增加了3倍。有必要开展预防听力和视力并发障碍及其后果的研究,特别是在原住民和美国老年人等人群亚组中。
