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 the prevalence of dyslipidemia in a cross-sectional study.
TL;DR: In this article, a lasso-logistic regression model was used to estimate the relative risk of dyslipidemia in occupational noise exposure and non-exposed workers, and a positive and nonlinear exposure-response relationship was found in workers exposed to 75-85 dB whose exposure years were between 11 and 24.5.

Association of noise exposure with risk of metabolic syndrome: Evidence from 44,698 individuals
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explored the association between noise exposure and risk of metabolic syndrome (MetS) and found that occupational noise exposure may result in an increased risk of MetS.

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.
