Cardiovascular effects of noise rank second in terms of disability-adjusted life year (DALYs)
after annoyance. Although research during the past decade has consolidated the available …

Background Long-term road traffic noise exposure is linked to cardio-metabolic disease
morbidity, whereas evidence on mortality remains limited. Objectives We investigated …

Background: Epidemiologic studies have linked transportation noise to increased morbidity
and mortality, particularly for cardiovascular outcomes. However, studies investigating …

Background The evidence on exposure to transportation noise and development of
hypertension is inconclusive, mostly because of a lack of high quality studies of longitudinal …

Aims Chronic noise exposure is associated with adverse pathophysiological effects and may
contribute to the progression of cardiovascular disease. We, therefore, determined the risk of …

We aimed to update the evidence-base of long-term noise exposures from road, rail, and
aircraft traffic on both non-accidental and cardiovascular mortality. A systematic review and …

Aims The aim of this study was to investigate the cross-sectional associations of modelled
residential road traffic noise with cardiovascular disease risk factors [systolic (SBP) and …

The proposed effect of road traffic noise on hypertension and ischemic heart disease finds
mixed empirical support. One problem with many studies is that the directions of the causal …

Aims Blood biochemistry may provide information on associations between road traffic
noise, air pollution, and cardiovascular disease risk. We evaluated this in two large …

In several population based cohort studies associations between aircraft noise and various
diagnoses of cardiovascular disease were observed. However, no study has yet addressed …
