Abstract:

Introduction: Cognitive health is an important factor for the quality of life and autonomy of the elderly and is influenced by hearing ability. Objective: To analyze the association between auditory self-perception and cognitive impairment in Brazilian elderly. Method: Population-based cross-sectional study with 4977 elderly people who participated in the ELSI Brasil 2015. Cognitive impairment (outcome, categorized as yes and no) and the variable of interest (auditory self-perception, categorized as good, regular and poor), both obtained in a self-reported. For cognition, the following domains were considered: temporal orientation, memory (short and long term) and language (recent and late). Poisson regression with robust variance estimation was used to assess the association in the crude and adjusted analyses. Sociodemographic, lifestyle and clinical history variables were used to adjust the analyses. Results: Of the participants, Dos participantes, 31.8% selfrated hearing as regular or bad and 42% presented cognitive impairment. In the adjusted analysis, elderly people with poor hearing showed a stronger association with cognitive impairment (PR 1.29 95%CI 1.24-1.29) compared to their peers with good hearing. Conclusion: In elderly Brazilians, the worse the auditory self-perception, the greater the association with cognitive impairment.
