“…The final exposure estimate combined the levels from distant and nearby roads. The noise assessment is described in detail elsewhere (41). In our analyses, the variable was dichotomized at the 75 th percentile (51.8 dBA).…”

“…Certain environmental factors in urban settings, such as air pollution, noise and extreme high temperatures have been associated with increased mortality (Selander et al 2009;Basagaña et al 2011;Hoek et al 2013). Some studies have suggested that natural outdoor environments might help reducing the levels of air pollution and noise, as well as extreme temperatures in cities, and therefore reduce the impact of these environmental factors on our health and life-expectancy (Shanahan et al 2015;Wolf and Robbins 2015).…”

Background: A number of studies have associated natural outdoor environments with reduced mortality but there is no systematic review synthesizing the evidence. Objectives:We aimed to systematically review the available evidence on the association between long-term exposure to residential green and blue spaces and mortality in adults, and make recommendations for further research. As a secondary aim, we also conducted meta-analyses to explore the magnitude of and heterogeneity in the risk estimates.Methods: Following the PRISMA statement guidelines for reporting systematic reviews and meta-analysis, two independent reviewers searched studies using keywords related to natural outdoor environments and mortality.Discussion: Our review identified twelve eligible studies conducted in North America, Europe, and Oceania with study populations ranging from 1645 up to more than 43 million individuals. These studies are heterogeneous in design, study population, green space assessment and covariate data. We found that the majority of studies show a reduction of the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality in areas with higher residential greenness. Evidence of a reduction of all-cause mortality is more limited, and no benefits of residential greenness on lung cancer mortality are observed. There were no studies on blue spaces. Conclusions:This review supports the hypothesis that living in areas with higher amounts of green spaces reduces mortality, mainly CVD. Further studies such as cohort studies with more and better covariate data, improved green space assessment and accounting well for socioeconomic status are needed to provide further and more complete evidence, as well as studies evaluating the benefits of blue spaces.

“…Many authorities around the world tend to underestimate the harmful effects of noise pollution compared to other types of pollution such as water, land, or air pollution. Nevertheless, recent research shows that noise pollution can pose serious risks to health such as hypertension [1][2][3], annoyance [4], sleep disturbance [5], and myocardial infarction [6,7].…”

Long-Term Exposure to Road Traffic Noise and Myocardial Infarction

Abstract: The results lend some support to the hypothesis that long-term exposure to road traffic noise increases the risk for MI.
