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

TL;DR: In this article, an online survey was carried out to understand how the measures of lockdown have influenced noise levels, as well as people's perception of sound quality before and after lockdown, including de-escalation.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the associations of noise with body mass index (BMI) and blood pressure in adults living in multi-story residential buildings, and found that higher nocturnal noise was associated with higher BMI.

TL;DR: It is suggested that exposure to total environmental noise at current urban levels may be related to the incidence of MI, and additional studies with more accurate road noise estimates are needed to explain the counterintuitive associations with road noise and specific transportation sources.

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.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors reviewed the literature regarding short sleep duration as an independent risk factor for obesity and weight gain and found that sleep deprivation may influence weight through effects on appetite, physical activity, and/or thermoregulation.
