Our commentary JAMA Neurology on a meta-analysis by Yeo et al of hearing aids & cochlear implants for prevention of dementia is now published. Congrats to co-authors Michael Denham and Rachel Weitzman Columbia Otolaryngology. 🦻🧠 jamanetwork.com/journals/jaman…

Very interesting: Hearing aids and cochlear implants seem to reduce cognitive decline and dementia in older adults with hearing loss. (N = 137,484) doi.org/10.1001/jamane…

now this is a COOL study! Lower cognitive decline & dementia in hearing aids and cochlear implant users. ja.ma/3W4AoT2 JAMA Neurology Justin S. Golub great editorial to boot! Agingdoc🩺Dr David Barzilai🔔MD PhD MS MBA DipABLM David Sinclair you should check this out.

Thank you for interviewing me! Important work by Benjamin K.J. Tan Brian Yeo @Harris_Song.

Meta-analysis on GLP-1 RAs: ✅ HbA1c ↓ by -0.72%, FPG ↓ by -1.00 mmol/L ✅ Effective in pre-DM (HbA1c ↓ -0.44%) ✅ Greater impact with higher HbA1c & ↓ BMI ✅ Smaller effects with >1yr use GLP-1 RAs show promise in obesity & pre-diabetes care.

Hearing loss may be associated with increased cross-sectional odds and longitudinal risk of falls. ja.ma/4bMQk5E Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine Singapore General Hospital (SGH) @nicolejiam

I’m pleased to share our latest study published in JAMA Otolaryngology – Head & Neck Surgery exploring the association between hearing loss and falls, where hearing loss may increase the risk of falls. Grateful for the valuable guidance of co-authors from Singapore and the United States. ja.ma/4bMQk5E
