- Study examines the association between serum α-Klotho levels and tinnitus, stratified by sex and depression.
- Higher serum α-Klotho levels are associated with lower odds of tinnitus, especially in females and individuals without depression.
- The research is based on a cross-sectional analysis of 4,244 participants from NHANES (2011-2012 and 2015-2016 cycles).
- Findings suggest a potential protective role of α-Klotho against tinnitus, but causality cannot be inferred due to the study's observational nature.
