Long-Term Road Traffic Noise, Air Pollution, and Cardiovascular Disease: AIRCARD: A Prospective Cohort Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Air pollution and road traffic noise are major environmental stressors associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD). Although their independent effects are well-documented, few studies have concurrently evaluated their relative contributions-particularly in low ambient air pollution settings.

Objectives

The purpose of this study was to investigate the association between long-term exposure to air pollution and road traffic noise and CVD.

Methods

We conducted a prospective cohort study using data from the DANCAVAS (Danish Cardiovascular Screening Trial) (2014-2018) and VIVA (Viborg vascular) (2008-2010) screening trials, including 26,723 men aged 65 to 74 years with pollution exposure data from 1979 to 2019.
