Hearing loss associated with mobility and cognitive impairment: comorbid condition, an intrinsic capacity-aligned vulnerability cluster or a syndromic clustering?

Key Points

• Cognitive impairment significantly correlates with mobility and hearing loss, indicating a complex interrelation.
• The analysis showed that individuals with mobility difficulties experienced a 30% higher prevalence of hearing loss.
• Observational analysis highlights the connection among hearing loss, mobility impairment, and cognitive disorders.
• Findings suggest that these conditions may form a syndromic cluster that requires further exploration.
