Relationships between long-term residential exposure to total environmental noise and stroke incidence.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Noise has been related to several cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) such as coronary heart disease and to their risk factors such as hypertension, but associations with stroke remain under-researched, even if CVD likely share similar pathophysiologic mechanisms.

Aim

The objective of the study was to examine the association between long-term residential exposure to total environmental noise and stroke incidence in Montreal, Canada.

Materials and methods

We created an open cohort of adults aged ≥45years, free of stroke before entering the cohort for the years 2000 to 2014 with health administrative data. Residential total environmental noise levels were estimated with land use regression (LUR) models. Incident stroke was based on hospital admissions. Cox hazard
