Exposure to road traffic noise and air pollution have both been associated with risk for
stroke. The few studies including both exposures show inconsistent results. We aimed to …

Methods: In a population-based cohort of 57,053 people, we identified 1881 cases of first
stroke in a population-based nationwide hospital register between enrolment in 1993–1997 …

Background Road traffic noise has been linked to increased risk of ischemic heart disease,
yet evidence on stroke shows mixed results. We examine the association between long-term …

Ambient air pollution has been linked to stroke, but few studies have examined in detail
stroke subtypes and confounding by road traffic noise, which was recently associated with …

Background Air pollution, road traffic noise, and green space are correlated factors,
associated with risk of stroke. We investigated their independent relationship with stroke in …

Background: Transportation noise is increasingly acknowledged as a cardiovascular risk
factor, but the evidence base for an association with stroke is sparse. Objective: We aimed to …

Background and Purpose—Years of exposure to tobacco smoke substantially increase the
risk for stroke. Whether long-term exposure to outdoor air pollution can lead to stroke is not …

Background Studies on transportation noise and incident stroke are few and inconclusive.
We aimed to investigate associations between road-traffic and railway noise and the risk of …

We investigated the risk of stroke related to long-term ambient air pollution exposure, in
particular the role of various exposure time windows, using four cohorts from Stockholm …

Background Inconsistent results have been found on the association between air pollution
and stroke mortality. Additionally, evidence on people who are potentially sensitive to air …
