| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Age-related deafness is a hearing loss that develops with age and gradually progresses, some reports say 40% of people over 65 years old were developed the deafness. The relationship between age-related hearing loss and cerebrovascular disorder is not clear yet.If these relationships are proved,it may be helpful in establishing how to prevent hearing loss.
In this study, model mouse and human epidemiological studies showed no clear relation to age-related hearing loss and cerebrovascular disorder.Furthermore, the presence of ApoE4 gene, which is regarded as a risk factor for Alzheimer's disease, also had no effect on hearing loss. However, we found a strong correlation with regard to the decline in cognitive function, which is considered to be a clue to future analysis.
