“…A partir das buscas realizadas, foram selecionados nove artigos que contemplavam todos os critérios de inclusão (Tabela 1). Os estudos selecionados evidenciaram a DM e a HAS como possíveis fatores de risco para o desenvolvimento da perda auditiva [10][11][12] . Pacientes com DM possuem um risco maior de desenvolver uma perda auditiva 12 do tipo sensorioneural 11,12,14,16 .…”

“…Pacientes com DM possuem um risco maior de desenvolver uma perda auditiva 12 do tipo sensorioneural 11,12,14,16 . Alguns estudos destacaram que o tabagismo 12 , o elevado Índice de Massa Corpórea (IMC) 10 , a exposição ao ruído e a idade elevada 14 também podem ser determinantes para a perda auditiva (Tabela1).…”

“…In addition to age, cardiovascular disease risk factors, such as hypertension, hyperglycemia, obesity, and smoking, and noise exposure, are known to be associated with hearing impairment. [4][5][6][7] Metabolic syndrome (MetS), a constellation of several metabolic components, including abdominal obesity, high blood pressure, elevated fasting glucose, and dyslipidemia, has been suggested as an independent risk factor of HL. 8,9) In an observational study of Korean women in their 50s or older, high-frequency HL was more prevalent among people with MetS than those without MetS.…”
