Introduction Exposure to road traffic noise may increase blood pressure and heart rate. It is
unclear to what extent exposure to air pollution may influence this relationship. We …

Background Epidemiological studies suggest that long-term exposure to transport noise
increases the risk for cardiovascular disorders. The effect of transport noise on blood …

Background: There is some evidence for an association between traffic noise and ischemic
heart disease; however, associations with blood pressure have been inconsistent, and little …

Background Results from studies of road traffic noise and hypertension are heterogeneous
with respect to effect size, effects among males and females and with respect to effects …

To update the current state of evidence and assess its quality, we conducted a systematic
review on the effects of environmental noise exposure on the cardio-metabolic systems as …

Long-term exposure to traffic noise has been suggested to increase the risk of
cardiovascular diseases (CVD). However, few studies have been performed in the general …

Objective: Reviews have suggested that road noise exposure is associated with high blood
pressure (hypertension). No reliable exposure–response relationship is as yet available. A …

Objective The association between the exposure to road traffic noise and the prevalence of
hypertension was assessed accounting for background air pollution and the location of …

Background The quality of evidence regarding the associations between road traffic noise
and hypertension is low due to the limitations of cross-sectional study design, and the role of …

Multiple cross-sectional studies indicated an association between hypertension and road
traffic noise and they were recently synthetized in a WHO systematic evidence review …
