People who live near busy roads or in major cities are at greater risk of high blood pressure, according to Swedish experts
Scientists conducted an experiment during which found that the risk of high blood pressure occurs when the noise exceeds 60 decibels, and this level of noise exposed every fourth inhabitant of Western Europe.
Experts say that high level of noise leads to feelings of stress and even sleep disorders, which subsequently increases the risk of high blood pressure. It is reported MedicInform.Net
In turn, British researchers have questioned the results of the study because they believe that diet, smoking and other factors play more important role. Swedish researchers analyzed questionnaires 28 thousand people on the impact of traffic noise. It turned out that the connection was pretty solid.
With the noise of 60 decibels at the risk of high blood pressure increased by more than 25%. At 64 decibels risk reached 90%, but the small number of participants in this group might not seem accurate results, experts have warned.
Results of the study are very important, because high blood pressure increases your risk of heart disease and stroke. However, it appears that this relationship is not observed among people over 60 years.
According to scientists this was due to the fact that older adults reduced sensitivity to noise. The study was published in the Environmental Health journal.
