“…According to some authors, women are more sensitive to vibration and perceive their exposure as higher [33,34]; others suggested that the impact of whole-body vibration is stronger on male heart rate variability [35], and that nighttime train vibration is associated with a slightly stronger increase in the heart rate in the delayed response of men [36]. Further comparisons with our findings are hindered not only by the few occupational epidemiology studies overall but also by the different populations under investigation (i.e., white/blue-collar, men/women).…”

Background: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the main mortality cause worldwide. Noise and vibration are considered to be occupational risk factors, but little is known about their cardiovascular effects in Bulgaria in terms of gender and various professional groups. The aim of this study has been to investigate the risk of prevalent CVD, associated with occupational noise and vibration exposure. Material and Methods: We conducted a secondary analysis of the data from 3 waves of the European Working Conditions Survey (EWCS) 2001-2010 -a nationally-representative cross-sectional questionnaire survey covering 3149 workers aged ≥ 15 years in Bulgaria. Data on self-reported heart disease were linked to self-reported occupational noise and vibration, adjusting for other factors. Results from the 3 waves were pooled together using the inverse variance heterogeneity (IVhet) meta-analysis. Results: For noise, the risk was elevated among women (relative risk (RR) = 1.26, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.53-3.01), but not men (RR = 0.49, 95% CI: 0.14-1.65). Long-term workers had RR = 1.01, 95% CI: 0.60-1.69. For vibration, the risk was increased in all participants. It was higher among men (RR = 2.56, 95% CI: 1.60-4.09) than it was among women (RR = 1.32, 95% CI: 0.77-2.27). Among long-term, industrial, and service workers it was RR = 1.56, 95% CI: 1.02-2.40; RR = 1.10, 95% CI: 0.61-1.98, and RR = 1.18, 95% CI: 0.57-2.46, respectively. Conclusions: Occupational vibration was a risk factor for prevalent heart disease in Bulgaria. Noise was an alleged risk factor only among long-term workers and women.

“…Cross-axis vibration measured along axes orthogonal to the vibration axis, which includes cross-talk response of the accelerometer, misalignment errors of the accelerometer, and background noise of transverse motion itself, was maintained less than 5% at all frequencies of interest (Shibata et al, 2012). Also rotational vibrations around the axes were negligible.…”

“…Recently subjective response scales of standing people to fore-aft, lateral, and vertical random vibration have been constructed from a laboratory experiment (Shibata et al, 2012). Equivalent discomfort contours of standing persons exposed to fore-aft, lateral, and vertical vibration have been reported Griffin, 2011, 2012) and concluded that frequency-weightings obtained from the equivalent comfort contours differed from those specified in the current standard ISO 2631-1.…”

Abstract-Whole body vibration (WBV) techniques are increasingly applied in rehabilitation processes to improve patients' functional mobility. Therapeutic usage of WBV reported enhanced muscular strength, power or even bone density. Therefore, the purpose of our study was to investigate immediate response of single WBV training unit on mobility of elderly patients with neurological disorders. Nineteen patients (66.74 ± 3.65 years, 6 males and 13 females) were assessed before WBV (10 min, 30 Hz, vertical 2 mm) and then 1 min afterwards. Individual changes in gait kinematics indicated positive effects of WBV, while kinematics of the gait was more symmetric considering right and left side. Individually, depending on the disease's severity, these changes were more or less significant. The improvements in gait kinematics convinced us that WBV can be carefully used in patients' therapy and it may be used together with individually planed rehabilitation processes to bring more satisfying results.
