Abstract:
Objective To study the occurrence of tinnitus in elderly population in the Chengqiao area of Chongming Island,Shanghai,and explore the influencing factors,so as to provide reference for prevention and treatment of tinnitus in special areas.Methods A combination of questionnaire surveys,scale assessments,and pure-tone audiometry test were employed in this study.The study involved 6 358 elderly individuals who underwent health examinations at the Chengqiao Town Community Health Service Center in Chongming,Shanghai,from June 2019 to December 2021.Single and multiple factor analysis methods were used to analyze the impact of 13 factors,including gender,age,hearing status,sleep quality,anxiety and depression status,history of alcohol consumption,smoking history,history of noise exposure,history of ototoxic drug use,hypertension,diabetes,hyperlipidemia,and coronary heart disease on tinnitus in the elderly population.Results ① Among the 6 358 elderly cases,there were 2 110 cases with tinnitus,and the incidence rate of tinnitus was 33.2％(2 110/6 358),and 1 712 cases were chronic tinnitus(81.1％),and 1 156 cases were bilateral tinnitus(54.8％).According to THI score,there were 1 012 patients(48％)were mild tinnitus,and 2 030 patients(96.2％)with average hearing threshold ≥25 dB HL.② Univariate analysis showed that age,hearing status,sleep quality,anxiety and depression,history of noise expo-sure,history of ototoxic drugs,and history of hypertension were related to the occurrence of tinnitus.Further bina-ry logistic regression analysis showed that increasing age(OR=1.10,95％CI 1.09～1.11,P＜0.001),hearing loss(OR=5.56,95％CI 4.31～7.18,P＜0.001),sleep disorder(OR=3.32,95％CI 2.82～3.91,P＜0.001),anxiety depression(OR=2.02,95％CI 1.71～2.39,P＜0.001),history of noise exposure(OR=3.67,95％CI 3.20～4.21,P＜0.001),history of ototoxic drugs(OR=2.20,95％CI 1.84～2.64,P＜0.001)and history of hy-pertension(OR=1.73,95％CI 1.53～1.95,P＜0.001)increased the risk of tinnitus.Conclusion The incidence of tinnitus in the elderly people in the Chengqiao area of Chongming is relatively high.Factors such as age,hearing status,sleep quality,anxiety and depression,history of noise exposure,history of ototoxic drugs,and history of hypertension are risk factors for the occurrence of tinnitus in the elderly population.
