Résumé : | [BDSP. Notice produite par INIST-CNRS Bm9R0xrJ. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. We assessed socioeconomic position and hearing loss in a Norwegian population of 17593 men and women aged 30-54 years in 1984 to 1986 who were followed for 11 years. We used analysis of variance, logistic regression, and population-attributable fraction analyses to examine associations. Significant socioeconomic inequalities in hearing loss were found among men. Adjusted odds ratios for hearing loss were approximately 1.3 to 1.9 for semi-and unskilled manual workers compared with participants with high occupational class. |
