Viewing in Older Adults: Results from a Secondary Analysis of the ACHIEVE Study","abstract":"BACKGROUND: Age-related hearing loss is common among older adults and may influence physical activity and sedentary behaviors, such as TV viewing. This study examined whether a hearing intervention could affect these behaviors over 3 years. METHODS: A total of 977 participants (mean age of 76.8, 53.5% female, 11.5% Black), recruited from the ARIC study (n = 238) and de novo (n = 739) with hearing loss (pure-tone average = 39.4 dB), were randomized to a hearing intervention or a health education control group. Physical activity, leisurely walking, and TV viewing were interrogated at baseline and 3-year follow-up. We used regression models adjusted for demographic and hearing loss severity to examine the impact of the intervention on the change in the frequency of engaging in these activities. RESULTS: At baseline, 57.6% of participants engaged in moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA), 29.1% in high-frequency leisurely walking, and 46.8% in high-frequency TV viewing. Over 3 years, MVPA decreased to 48.8%, whereas leisurely walking and TV viewing increased. After 3 years, the hearing intervention group had similar odds of engaging in MVPA (ratio of odds ratios [ROR] = 1.03, 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.93-1.14), leisurely walking (ROR = 1.04, 95% CI, 0.93-1.17), and TV viewing (ROR = 0.95, 95% CI, 0.87-1.02) compared with the control group. Results were consistent across recruitment sources (ARIC and de novo). CONCLUSION: A hearing intervention did not significantly influence physical activity, walking, or TV viewing behaviors in older adults over 3 years. Additional strategies may be needed to change physical and sedentary behaviors in this population.","journal":"The Journals of Gerontology Series A","year":2025,"id":543125,"datarank":0.10397207708399181,"base_score":0.6931471805599453,"endowment":0.6931471805599453,"self_citation_contribution":0.10397207708399181,"citation_network_contribution":0.0,"self_endowment_contribution":0.10397207708399181,"citer_contribution":0.0,"corpus_percentile":null,"corpus_rank":null,"citation_count":1,"citer_count":1,"citers_with_citation_signal":0,"citers_with_endowment":0,"datacite_reuse_total":0,"is_dataset":false,"is_dataset_confidence":0.8554,"is_data_producer":false,"deposit_databanks":null,"is_oa":true,"file_count":0,"downloads":0,"has_version_chain":false,"published_date":"2025-01-01","fair_score":null,"fair_percentile":null,"algorithm_id":"datarank_citation_only_1hop_v6","ranking_scope":"data_only","authors":[{"id":1091387,"name":"Wuyang Zhang","orcid":"0009-0007-8726-6520","position":1,"is_corresponding":false},{"id":1048452,"name":"Sahar Assi","orcid":"0000-0001-5556-5808","position":2,"is_corresponding":false},{"id":1432852,"name":"Heramb Gupta","orcid":null,"position":3,"is_corresponding":false},{"id":391040,"name":"Erica Twardzik","orcid":"0000-0002-3514-2610","position":4,"is_corresponding":false},{"id":633203,"name":"Alison Huang","orcid":"0000-0003-0193-1133","position":5,"is_corresponding":false},{"id":482270,"name":"Nicholas S.
