“…Age, sex and obesity all play a role, as do upper airway anatomy/physiology [5] and control of breathing [6,7], but these traditional risk factors are all measured at an individual level rather than at a household, community or city level. Many conditions, particularly in respiratory medicine, are driven by environmental factors that may exist at a household level (tobacco smoke exposure or solid fuel heating), community level (for instance, urban noise levels [8]) or municipal/city level ( pollen counts and heatwaves). Some work has identified neighbourhood as being a risk factor for poor compliance with continuous positive airway pressure therapy [9] but very few investigators have looked at what components of a neighbourhood might increase the risks of sleep apnoea itself.…”

@ERSpublications Four key studies clearly contradictory over the effects of temperature on sleep apnoea and it is not clear why http://ow.ly/RWg41Aficionados of 1970s and 1980s cartoons will have no trouble imagining the look of befuddlement upon our faces reminiscent of Scooby Doo's when presented with a new mystery. Normally in an editorial, one should write a nice, succinct summary of the field providing the reader with a clear but concise understanding of where we are and where we are heading. However, it is just not possible in this case. The evidence is truly befuddling. The four key studies [1][2][3][4] are not just inconsistent with respect to the effects of temperature on sleep apnoea, they are clearly contradictory and it is not clear why. So, this will be an editorial that poses more questions than it answers.The risk factors for sleep apnoea are already well described at both clinical and population levels. Age, sex and obesity all play a role, as do upper airway anatomy/physiology [5] and control of breathing [6,7], but these traditional risk factors are all measured at an individual level rather than at a household, community or city level. Many conditions, particularly in respiratory medicine, are driven by environmental factors that may exist at a household level (tobacco smoke exposure or solid fuel heating), community level (for instance, urban noise levels [8]) or municipal/city level ( pollen counts and heatwaves). Some work has identified neighbourhood as being a risk factor for poor compliance with continuous positive airway pressure therapy [9] but very few investigators have looked at what components of a neighbourhood might increase the risks of sleep apnoea itself.

“…Noise, as mentioned previously, cause not only hearing impairment but also affects multiple organ systems of human [ 19 , 47 , 53 ]. Many epidemiological studies have suggested the nonauditory effect of long-term noise low-level noise exposure, including cardiovascular disease, respiratory disease, and psychological disease [ 13 , 19 , 53 , 54 , 55 , 56 , 57 , 58 , 59 , 60 ]. Sleep disturbance and mental health problems are among the seven health effects and social outcomes from noise exposure confirmed by WHO [ 56 ].…”

The cause of the allergic disease is known to be multifactorial, and there is growing evidence of environmental factors triggering the disease. Indeed, it is essential to find modifiable environmental factors related to allergic disease. Noise is an environmental pollutant causing various health problems, especially when exposed during the night-time. This study assessed the impact of night-time noise exposure in allergic disease. Subjects were selected from a panel data survey containing questions on allergic disease and related factors. Incidence of allergic disease, covariates, and addresses was derived from survey questionnaires. By applying the Land Use Regression modeling method, each subject’s night-time noise estimates were elicited based on the night-time noise level collected from the noise monitoring site. Association between night-time noise difference rate and incidence of asthma were analyzed by Cox proportional hazard regression. Incidence of allergic disease increased when night-time noise difference was positive compared to the negative difference. Additionally, the incidence of allergic disease increased by per interquartile range of night-time noise difference rate. The result showed that exposure to night-time noise tends to increase the risk of allergic disease. With further studies, the result of our study may serve as supplementary data when determining noise limits.
