老年人听力损失与认知下降有关,因为存在共同的大脑连通问题,表明潜在的痴呆症风险和一个新的生物标志。 Hearing loss in older adults is linked to cognitive decline through shared brain connectivity issues, suggesting a potential dementia risk and a new biomarker.

一项新的研究将与年龄有关的听力损失与认知下降联系起来,通过功能-结构比率(一种衡量大脑连通性的尺度)确定共同的神经生物基础。 A new study links age-related hearing loss to cognitive decline by identifying a shared neurobiological basis through the Functional-Structural Ratio (FSR), a measure of brain connectivity. 研究人员发现,在涉及听力、记忆和决策的关键脑区域,有前视力的成年人之间的联系受到削弱,这与听力和认知表现较差有关。 Researchers found weakened connections in key brain regions involved in hearing, memory, and decision-making among adults with presbycusis, correlating with poorer hearing and cognitive performance. 调查结果表明,听力损失可能反映大脑结构和功能的更广泛下降,可能增加痴呆症风险,并表明FSR是未来评估大脑健康的一个可能的生物标志。 The findings suggest that hearing loss may reflect a broader decline in brain structure and function, potentially raising dementia risk, and point to FSR as a possible future biomarker for assessing brain health.
