Cardiovascular effects of environmental noise exposure
TLDR
Evidence from epidemiologic studies demonstrates that environmental noise is associated with an increased incidence of arterial hypertension, myocardial infarction, and stroke, and the importance of noise mitigation strategies for public health is stressed.Abstract:
The role of noise as an environmental pollutant and its impact on health are being increasingly recognized. Beyond its effects on the auditory system, noise causes annoyance and disturbs sleep, and it impairs cognitive performance. Furthermore, evidence from epidemiologic studies demonstrates that environmental noise is associated with an increased incidence of arterial hypertension, myocardial infarction, and stroke. Both observational and experimental studies indicate that in particular night-time noise can cause disruptions of sleep structure, vegetative arousals (e.g. increases of blood pressure and heart rate) and increases in stress hormone levels and oxidative stress, which in turn may result in endothelial dysfunction and arterial hypertension. This review focuses on the cardiovascular consequences of environmental noise exposure and stresses the importance of noise mitigation strategies for public health.read more

Occupational noise exposure and its association with incident hyperglycaemia: a retrospective cohort study
TL;DR: Noise pollution is reported to be associated with diabetes, but few studies have elucidated the associations between noise frequency characteristics and incident hyperglycaemia, and an industry-based cohort of 905 volunteers was enrolled and followed up to 2012.

Assessment of noise annoyance level of shield tunneling machine drivers under noisy environments based on combined physiological activities
Xuejiao Xing,Xuejiao Xing,Heng Li,Botao Zhong,Luting Qiu,Hanbin Luo,Qunzhou Yu,Jun Hou,Lang Li +8 more
TL;DR: An assessment model based on the combined effects of physiological activities in electrocardiography and electroencephalography was proposed to index a driver’s noise annoyance level and ability to adapt to a noisy working environment and individuals with an unqualified mental status for shield tunneling machine operation can be excluded to avoid potential operational risks.

Short Sleep Duration Is Associated with Reduced Leptin, Elevated Ghrelin, and Increased Body Mass Index
TL;DR: Differences in leptin and ghrelin are likely to increase appetite, possibly explaining the increased BMI observed with short sleep duration, and changes in appetite regulatory hormones with sleep curtailment may contribute to obesity.
