Linear models reveal modest links between hearing loss and physical activity patterns in Dutch adults, suggesting varied impacts of hearing acuity.

This research aims to explore how hearing loss influences physical activity behaviors.
Collected subjective physical activity data via a questionnaire.
Utilized accelerometer measurements for objective activity tracking.
Classified data into physical activities and postures, analyzing movement intensity.
Applied linear regression and linear mixed-effects models for data analysis.
Implemented Compositional Data Analysis to assess hearing acuity effects.
Observations indicated a modest relationship between subjective and objective measures of physical activity.
Found a weak association between poorer hearing and reduced dynamic activities.
No significant links were observed for specific activities or subjective levels using standard methods.

Sabaté-Cao et al. (2025) studied this question.
