Occupational noise exposure and the prevalence of dyslipidemia in a cross-sectional study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Occupational noise exposure was related to cardiovascular disease, of which dyslipidemia was an important inducement. This study investigated the relationship between occupational noise exposure and dyslipidemia.

Methods

Four hundred ninety-two occupational noise-exposed workers and 664 non-exposed workers were recruited to conduct environmental noise tests and personal occupational physical examinations. A lasso-logistic regression model was used to estimate the relative risk of dyslipidemia. A restricted cubic spline was used to estimate the association between noise exposure years and dyslipidemia after adjusting for potential confounding factors.

Results

A crude association was observed between the occupational noise exposure (75-85 dB(A)) and dyslipide
