The researchers used maps and traffic data to estimate the noise levels for the addresses of more than subjects. They found that 24000 Swedish people exposed to an average traffic-noise level above 64 decibels (slightly louder than a normal conversation were more likely than people) 52% exposed to 45 decibels of road noise to report having high blood pressure, a key risk factor for heart disease after controlling, for age, socioeconomic status, and other variables. Exposure to road noise between 60 decibels and 64 decibels was associated with a risk o F hypertension 15%, above, the, minimally, group., Previous, studies, have, hypothesized, noise, exposure, that, could, cause, hypertension, by, persistently,, elevating, the,, bodys, level, exposed, of, stress, hormones. Caveat: The researchers couldnt account for the presence of noise barriers or the floor level on which the subjects lived, factors that would influence traffic-noise exposure. Previous studies have found a large discrepancy between self-reported hypertension and actual clinical diagnoses. Road noise and high blood pressure: according to a study in Environmental Health, people who live in buildings with high traffic noise levels are more likely to have high blood pressure. The researchers used maps and traffic data to estimate noise in the homes of more than 24000 people in sweden. They found that, after controlling for age, socioeconomic status and other variables, in the average traffic noise level of 64 dB (slightly higher than a normal conversation) above the crowd hypertension appear more likely than 45 decibels of road noise population was 52% higher. High blood pressure is a major risk factor for heart disease. If exposure to road noise between 60
