Objectives There is limited research in population-based studies on auditory processing. The purpose of this work is to determine the prevalence of auditory processing impairment in the Jackson Heart Study cohort and to identify potential relationships with cardiometabolic risk factors. Study Design Cross-sectional study. Setting Jackson Heart Study in Jackson, Mississippi. Subjects Participants of an all–African American cardiovascular study cohort (n = 1314). Methods The Quick Speech-in-Noise and Dichotic Digits, Double Pairs tests were used to assess auditory processing. Logistic regression and multinomial logistic regression models were used to examine how participants’ cardiometabolic risk factors and audiologic characteristics were associated with speech perception in noise and binaural integration. Results Quick Speech-in-Noise and Dichotic Digits, Double Pairs testing showed a prevalence of auditory processing impairment in 69% and 71% of the cohort, respectively, which was significantly related to age, hearing thresholds, sex, and education level. With covariate adjustment in statistical models for age, sex, pure tone average, and education level, waist circumference, systolic blood pressure, and hypertension were statistically predictive of auditory processing impairment ( P < .05). Conclusion The results suggest a high prevalence of auditory processing deficits in the Jackson Heart Study cohort. In addition, cardiometabolic and audiologic factors show a statistically significant independent relationship with auditory impairment measures.

Background: Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease is prevalent among African Americans (AAs). Findings are mixed regarding the relationship between anger expression and peripheral atherosclerosis, as well as coronary atherosclerosis, as measured by coronary artery calcification (CAC). In addition, this relationship is unknown among AAs. Hypothesis: Higher anger levels are positively associated with CAC and abdominal-iliac artery calcification (AAC) among AAs. Methods: Using the Jackson Heart Study cohort (N=5301), we stratified 1809 participants who completed the Spielberger Anger Expression scale at baseline into four quartiles. The scale consists of 16 items, measuring anger-in and anger-out, with higher scores representing higher frequencies of anger expression. Total anger (anger-in and anger-out) quartiles were measured against CAC and AAC using ordinal logistic regression. CAC and AAC were categorized as: 0, 1-10, 11-100, 101-300, and greater than 300. Models were adjusted for potential confounding variables (age, sex, smoking, alcohol, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and coronary heart disease). Results: The final study sample consisted of 34% (615 of 1809) male with a mean age of 54.0 (SD 10.79). Higher total anger was inversely associated with age and hypertension, but positively related to alcohol use and smoking status. Unadjusted analysis showed that total anger quartiles and anger-in quartiles were inversely related to CAC and AAC. The association of anger with CAC and AAC was non-significant after adjustment for confounders (Table). Conclusion: Before adjustment, higher anger levels showed a protective effect against coronary and aortic atherosclerosis. However, this relationship was no longer significant after adjustment for confounders suggesting that age and hypertension played a major role in the presence of atherosclerosis in this AA population. Future studies should investigate whether other negative emotional expressions are associated with atherosclerosis in AAs

ObjectivesWe hypothesised that (1) the prevalent cardiovascular disease (CVD) is associated with global electrical heterogeneity (GEH) after adjustment for demographic, anthropometric, socioeconomic and traditional cardiovascular risk factors, (2) there are sex differences in GEH and (3) sex modifies an association of prevalent CVD with GEH.DesignCross-sectional, cohort study.SettingProspective African-American The Jackson Heart Study (JHS) with a nested family cohort in 2000–2004 enrolled residents of the Jackson, Mississippi metropolitan area.ParticipantsParticipants from the JHS with analysable ECGs recorded in 2009–2013 (n=3679; 62±12 y; 36% men; 863 family units). QRS, T and spatial ventricular gradient (SVG) vectors’ magnitude and direction, spatial QRS-T angle and sum absolute QRST integral (SAI QRST) were measured.OutcomePrevalent CVD was defined as the history of (1) coronary heart disease defined as diagnosed/silent myocardial infarction, or (2) revascularisation procedure defined as prior coronary/peripheral arterial revascularisation, or (3) carotid angioplasty/carotid endarterectomy, or (4) stroke.ResultsIn adjusted mixed linear models, women had a smaller spatial QRS-T angle (−12.2 (95% CI −19.4 to -5.1)°; p=0.001) and SAI QRST (−29.8 (−39.3 to −20.3) mV*ms; p<0.0001) than men, but larger SVG azimuth (+16.2(10.5–21.9)°; p<0.0001), with a significant random effect between families (+20.8 (8.2–33.5)°; p=0.001). SAI QRST was larger in women with CVD as compared with CVD-free women or men (+15.1 (3.8–26.4) mV*ms; p=0.009). Men with CVD had a smaller T area (by 5.1 (95% CI 1.2 to 9.0) mV*ms) and T peak magnitude (by 44 (95%CI 16 to 71) µV) than CVD-free men. T vectors pointed more posteriorly in women as compared with men (peak T azimuth + 17.2(8.9–25.6)°; p<0.0001), with larger sex differences in T azimuth in some families by +26.3(7.4–45.3)°; p=0.006.ConclusionsThere are sex differences in the electrical signature of CVD in African-American men and women. There is a significant effect of unmeasured genetic and environmental factors on cardiac repolarisation.
