BACKGROUND: Poor hearing is common in older adults and it may have negative
consequences which extend beyond communication.
OBJECTIVES: To explore the associations of self-reported hearing problems with physical
performance and self-reported difficulties in mobility and activities of daily living (ADL) in
community-dwelling older adults.
DESIGN: Cross-sectional cohort study
SETTING: Community
PARTICIPANTS: 848 men and women aged 75-90 years
MEASUREMENTS: Structured face-to-face interviews to assess perceived hearing problems
in the presence of noise, mobility difficulties (moving indoors, stair-climbing, 0.5 km walk
and 2 km walk) and difficulties in ADLs and instrumental ADLs. The Short Physical
Performance Battery (SPPB) test was administered. Age, years of education, cognitive
functioning, and self-reported cardiac, circulatory, and locomotor diseases were used as
covariates.
RESULTS: Compared to persons who reported good hearing, persons who reported major
hearing problems had a lower SPPB total score indicating poorer performance (mean 9.8 vs.
10.9, p=0.009) and more difficulties in ADLs (mean 1.8 vs. 1.4, p=0.002) and IADLs (mean 4.6
vs. 3.4, p=0.002) after controlling for covariates. They also had higher odds for more
difficulty in stair-climbing (OR 2.8, p<0.001) and walking 2 km (OR 2.1, p=0.003) and tended
to have more difficulty in walking 0.5 km (OR 1.7, p=0.050) but not in moving indoors
(p=0.177). Persons who reported only some hearing problems did not differ from those who
reported good hearing in any of the variables studied.
CONCLUSION: Perceived major hearing problems among older adults may contribute to
4
poorer lower limb performance, and difficulties in mobility and ADL. Longitudinal studies are
needed in order to disentangle whether poor hearing is a risk factor for decline in physical
performance.

Self-reported hearing is associated with time spent out-of-home and withdrawal from leisure activities in older community-dwelling adults
Mikkola, Tuija; Polku, Hannele; Portegijs, Erja; Rantakokko, Merja; Tsai, Li-Tang; Rantanen, Taina; Viljanen, Anne (Springer - Verlag Italia Srl, 2016)Background Hearing difficulties are prevalent among older people and can lead to difficulties in social interaction. These difficulties may increase the tendency to remain at home and withdraw from leisure activities. Aims To ... -

Mikkola, Tuija; Portegijs, Erja; Rantakokko, Merja; Gagné, Jean-Pierre; Rantanen, Taina; Viljanen, Anne (Sage Publications, Inc., 2015)Objective: To investigate whether hearing difficulty is associated with objective and perceived participation in social and leisure activities outside the home in older adults. Method: Self-reported hearing difficulty, ... -
Multidimensional physical activity profiles and changes in physical function and self-reported walking ability among community-dwelling older adults : a 4-year follow-up
Palmberg, Lotta; Karavirta, Laura; Löppönen, Antti; Hyvärinen, Matti; Rantanen, Taina; Rantalainen, Timo (Oxford University Press (OUP), 2023)Purpose Physical activity (PA) is multidimensional but often assessed using single metrics. We studied how data-driven PA profiles predict changes in physical functioning and self-reported walking ability over time among ... -
Associations Between Accelerometer-Based Free-Living Walking and Self-Reported Walking Capability Among Community-Dwelling Older People
Skantz, Heidi; Rantalainen, Timo; Karavirta, Laura; Rantakokko, Merja; Palmberg, Lotta; Portegijs, Erja; Rantanen, Taina (Human Kinetics Publishers, 2021)The authors examined whether accelerometer-based free-living walking differs between those reporting walking modifications or perceiving walking difficulty versus those with no difficulty. Community-dwelling 75-, 80-, or ... -
Association between physical performance and sense of autonomy in outdoor activities and life-space mobility in community-dwelling older people
Portegijs, Erja; Rantakokko, Merja; Mikkola, Tuija; Viljanen, Anne; Rantanen, Taina (Wiley-Blackwell; American Geriatrics Society, 2014)Objectives. To study the relationship between physical performance and sense of autonomy in outdoor activities with life-space mobility—the spatial area a person purposefully moves through in daily life—in community-dwelling ...
