Associations between Aircraft Noise, Sleep, and Sleep-Wake Cycle: Actimetric Data from the UK Biobank Cohort near Four Major Airports.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Nighttime aircraft noise may affect people's sleep, yet large-scale evidence using objective and subjective measures remains limited.

Objective

Our aim was to investigate associations between nighttime aircraft noise exposure and objectively measured sleep disturbance using a large UK cohort.

Methods

We used data from 105,770 UK Biobank cohort participants exposed and unexposed to aircraft noise who lived in 44 local authority districts near 4 international airports in England. We used a generalized linear regression model to examine cross-sectional associations between aircraft noise Lnight (23:00 hours-07:00 hours) and 7-d actimetric measures collected 2013-2015 (n=22,102). We also used Logit and generalized estimating equations models to examine associat
