To investigate whether there is a relation between residential exposure to aircraft noise and hypertension.
The study population comprised two random samples of subjects aged 19-80 years, one including 266 residents in the vicinity of Stockholm Arlanda airport, and another comprising 2693 inhabitants in other parts of Stockholm county. The subjects were classified according to the time weighted equal energy and maximum aircraft noise levels at their residence. A questionnaire provided information on individual characteristics including history of hypertension.
The prevalence odds ratio for hypertension adjusted for age, sex, smoking, and education was 1.6 (95% confidence interval (95% CI) 1.0 to 2.5) among those with energy averaged aircraft noise levels exceeding 55 dBA, and 1.8 (95% CI 1.1 to 2.8) among those with maximum aircraft noise levels exceeding 72 dBA. An exposure-response relation was suggested for both exposure measures. The exposure to aircraft noise seemed particularly important for older subjects and for those not reporting impaired hearing ability.
Community exposure to aircraft noise may be associated with hypertension.
调查居住环境暴露于飞机噪声与高血压之间是否存在关联。
研究人群包括两个年龄在19 - 80岁的随机样本,一个样本包含斯德哥尔摩阿兰达机场附近的266名居民,另一个样本由斯德哥尔摩县其他地区的2693名居民组成。根据居住处的时间加权等效连续A声级和最大飞机噪声水平对研究对象进行分类。一份调查问卷提供了包括高血压病史在内的个人特征信息。
在能量平均飞机噪声水平超过55分贝A的人群中,经年龄、性别、吸烟和教育程度调整后的高血压患病率比值比为1.6(95%置信区间(95%CI)1.0至2.5),在最大飞机噪声水平超过72分贝A的人群中为1.8(95%CI 1.1至2.8)。两种暴露测量方法均显示出暴露 - 反应关系。飞机噪声暴露对老年受试者和未报告听力受损的受试者似乎尤为重要。
社区暴露于飞机噪声可能与高血压有关。
