Objectives The largest study until now around 6 major European airports, the HYENA (HYpertension and Exposure to Noise near Airports) study, reported an excess risk of hypertension related to long-term aircraft noise exposure. The DEBATS (Discussion on the health effects of aircraft noise) study investigated the relationship between this exposure and the risk of hypertension in men and in women near French airports. Methods Blood pressure of 1244 participants older than 18 years of age was…

Incident hypertension in relation to aircraft noise exposure: results of the DEBATS longitudinal study in France

The hypothesis that aircraft noise exposure may be considered as a risk factor for hypertension is supported by the results of this longitudinal study.

Is aircraft noise exposure associated with cardiovascular disease and hypertension? Results from a cohort study in Athens, Greece

It is suggested that long-term exposure to aircraft noise, particularly during the night, is associated with incident hypertension and possibly, also, cardiovascular effects.

Problem Self-reported health and aircraft noise exposure : the results of the DEBATS study in France

The associations observed in this study could be due to residual confounding or to declaration bias which cannot be excluded, and further studies are necessary in order to better understand these associations.

Aircraft noise and self-assessed mental health around a regional urban airport: a population based record linkage study

The findings indicate that the noise environment around this smaller airport (with fewer flights and no night flights) has little influence on population mental health.

The effects of aircraft noise exposure on psychological distress: the results of the DEBATS study in France

Investigation of associations between aircraft noise exposure and psychological distress for people living near airports in France found no association was found between exposure to aircraft noise and symptom of depression or psychological distress.

Aircraft Noise and Psychological Ill-Health: The Results of a Cross-Sectional Study in France

The hypothesis that psychological aspects, such as noise annoyance and noise sensitivity, play important roles in the association between environmental noise and adverse effects on health is supported, however, further studies are necessary in order to better understand the links between these variables.

Aircraft noise exposure and saliva cortisol in a pooled-analysis from seven European countries

Findings provide some support for a psychological stress induced by aircraft noise exposure, resulting in disruption of hormonal rhythms, in women, as well as in men.

Hypertension and Exposure to Noise Near Airports: the HYENA Study

Excess risks of hypertension related to long-term noise exposure are indicated, primarily for night-time aircraft noise and daily average road traffic noise.

Increased prevalence of hypertension in a population exposed to aircraft noise

Community exposure to aircraft noise may be a risk factor for hypertension and it is suggested that special attention be paid to maximum noise levels because of possible physiological effects from aircraft noise.

Findings suggest that long-term aircraft noise exposure may increase the risk for hypertension in men living near Stockholm Arlanda airport.

Medication use in relation to noise from aircraft and road traffic in six European countries: results of the HYENA study

An effect of aircraft noise on the use of antihypertensive medication, but this effect did not hold for all countries, and was more consistent across countries for the increased use of anxiolytic medication.

Aircraft noise around a large international airport and its impact on general health and medication use

Results suggest associations between community exposure to aircraft noise and the health indicators poor general health status, use of sleep medication, and use of medication for cardiovascular diseases.

Road traffic noise and hypertension

The strongest association between exposure to traffic noise and hypertension was found among those with the least expected misclassification of true individual exposure, as indicated by not having triple-glazed windows, living in an old house and having the bedroom window facing a street.

Risk of hypertension from exposure to road traffic noise in a population-based sample

A positive association between residential road traffic noise and hypertension among men, and an exposure–response relationship is shown, while prevalence ratios were increased and findings were more pronounced when incidence was assessed.

Exposure-response relationship of the association between aircraft noise and the risk of hypertension.

There is sufficient qualitative evidence, however, that aircraft noise increases the risk of hypertension in adults and children's blood pressure, and an attempt was made to derive an exposure-response relationship based on a meta-analysis.

Traffic Noise and Risk of Myocardial Infarction

The hypothesis that chronic exposure to high levels of traffic noise increases the risk of myocardial infarction and other cardiovascular diseases is supported.
