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 paper , the effects of external factors such as light, sound, and temperature on the sleep quality of kennelled laboratory dogs were investigated, assessing whether each variable interfered with their sleep behavior and/or increased stress responses.

Acoustic comfort in the living environment and its association with noise representation: A systematic review
TL;DR: The results indicate that architectural variables present in the studies were mostly related to the analysis of external traffic noise and that representation of noise in analyses were rarely devised which highlights the need for further investigation in this area.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the acoustic conditions of seven public libraries in metropolitan Melbourne using objective measurements and found that the reverberation time was high and other measures such as speech intelligibility were poor.

TL;DR: Results suggest that household disorder is positively associated with higher BP in adult women, but not their children, and suggest that interventions to address household disorder could benefit maternal BP and potentially improve long-term CVD outcomes.

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.
