Project overview
Aims and Objectives
The primary goal of this project is to investigate the comorbidity of hearing loss and diabetes in older adults from a socioeconomic perspective.
Throughout the project, I will undertake several key activities:
Data Refinement: I will explore the available coding variables within the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing (ELSA), a nationally representative sample of older people. This includes examining key measures of hearing loss and diabetes that are available in 9 Waves of ELSA.
Prevalence Analysis: I will conduct exploratory analyses to estimate the prevalence of diabetes and hearing loss across various socioeconomic groups in order to gain a comprehensive understanding of the available sub-samples and their sufficiency for multivariable analyses.
Patient and Public Involvement and Engagement (PPIE): Gathering input from patients and families to inform the main application via a Workshop.
Networking and Collaboration: The Strategic Research Development Fund will support networking visits and participation in a conference to establish links with potential collaborators with relevant expertise and stakeholders who would be interested in co-developing impact and knowledge exchange activities.
