Transportation noise has been linked with cardiometabolic outcomes, yet whether it is a risk factor for atrial fibrillation (AF) remains inconclusive. We aimed to assess whether transportation noise was associated with AF in a large, pooled Nordic cohort.
We pooled data from 11 Nordic cohorts, totaling 161,115 participants. Based on address history from five years before baseline until end of follow-up, road, railway, and aircraft noise was estimated at a residential level. Incident AF was ascertained via linkage to nationwide patient registries. Cox proportional hazards models were utilized to estimate associations between running 5-year time-weighted mean transportation noise (L) and AF after adjusting for sociodemographics, lifestyle, and air pollution.
We identified 18,939 incident AF cases over a median follow-up of 19.6 years. Road traffic noise was associated with AF, with a hazard ratio (HR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) of 1.02 (1.00-1.04) per 10-dB of 5-year mean time-weighted exposure, which changed to 1.03 (1.01-1.06) when implementing a 53-dB cut-off. In effect modification analyses, the association for road traffic noise and AF appeared strongest in women and overweight and obese participants. Compared to exposures ≤40 dB, aircraft noise of 40.1-50 and > 50 dB were associated with HRs of 1.04 (0.93-1.16) and 1.12 (0.98-1.27), respectively. Railway noise was not associated with AF. We found a HR of 1.19 (1.02-1.40) among people exposed to noise from road (≥45 dB), railway (>40 dB), and aircraft (>40 dB) combined.
Road traffic noise, and possibly aircraft noise, may be associated with elevated risk of AF.

交通噪音已被证明与心脏代谢结果相关,但它是否是心房颤动(AF)的危险因素仍尚无定论。我们旨在评估在一个大型的北欧合并队列中,交通噪音是否与AF有关。
我们汇总了11个北欧队列的数据,共有161,115名参与者。根据基线前五年至随访结束的地址历史,在居住层面估计道路、铁路和飞机噪音。通过与全国患者登记处的链接确定新发AF。在调整社会人口统计学、生活方式和空气污染因素后,使用Cox比例风险模型估计5年时间加权平均交通噪音(L)与AF之间的关联。
在中位随访19.6年期间,我们共识别出18,939例新发AF病例。道路交通噪音与AF相关,每10分贝的5年平均时间加权暴露的风险比(HR)和95%置信区间(CI)为1.02(1.00-1.04),当采用53分贝的临界值时,该值变为1.03(1.01-1.06)。在效应修饰分析中,道路交通噪音与AF的关联在女性以及超重和肥胖参与者中似乎最为明显。与暴露水平≤40分贝相比,40.1-50分贝和>50分贝的飞机噪音的HR分别为1.04(0.93-1.16)和1.12(0.98-1.27)。铁路噪音与AF无关。我们发现,在同时暴露于道路(≥45分贝)、铁路(>40分贝)和飞机(>40分贝)噪音的人群中,HR为1.19(1.02-1.40)。
道路交通噪音以及可能的飞机噪音,可能与AF风险升高有关。
