The aim of this study was to examine subjective sensitivity to noise of the citizens of Niš and its impact on their non-auditory health effects.
This study was designed as a cross-sectional questionnaire survey among 908 adult residents of Niš, Serbia, of whom 387 were men (42.6%) and 521 women (57.4%). Streets with day L ≥ 55 dB(A) and night L ≥ 45 dB(A) were regarded as noisy and those with day L ≤ 55 dB(A) and night L ≤ 45 dB(A) were regarded as quiet, in accordance with WHO recommendations. Noise sensitivity was measured with the Weinstein's Noise Sensitivity Scale. Logistic regression analysis was used to assess the impact of noise sensitivity on non-auditory health effects.
The study showed that the values of the Weinstein's Noise Sensitivity Scale were significantly higher for those surveyed in the noisy zone. Multiple regression analysis revealed a significant impact of noise sensitivity on night-sleep duration (p = 0.04), subjective assessment of sleep quality (p < 0.01) and daily rest disruption (p < 0.001).
Based on the study results, it can be confirmed that noise sensitivity has an important role in causing non-auditory health effects among adults.
本研究旨在调查尼什市民对噪音的主观敏感度及其对非听觉健康影响。
本研究设计为对塞尔维亚尼什市908名成年居民进行的横断面问卷调查，其中男性387人（42.6%），女性521人（57.4%）。根据世界卫生组织的建议，白天L≥55 dB(A)且夜间L≥45 dB(A)的街道被视为嘈杂街道，白天L≤55 dB(A)且夜间L≤45 dB(A)的街道被视为安静街道。使用温斯坦噪音敏感度量表测量噪音敏感度。采用逻辑回归分析评估噪音敏感度对非听觉健康影响。
研究表明，嘈杂区域受访者的温斯坦噪音敏感度量表得分显著更高。多元回归分析显示，噪音敏感度对夜间睡眠时间（p = 0.04）、睡眠质量主观评估（p < 0.01）和日常休息干扰（p < 0.001）有显著影响。
基于研究结果，可以确认噪音敏感度在导致成年人非听觉健康影响方面具有重要作用。
