“…Title and abstract screening, citation tracking, and the reference list search identified 180 studies for the full text screening. We included 24 studies published (in 26 publications) between 1977 and 2019 [ 44 , 48 , 49 , 50 , 51 , 52 , 53 , 54 , 55 , 56 , 57 , 58 , 59 , 60 , 61 , 62 , 63 , 64 , 65 , 66 , 67 , 68 , 69 , 70 , 71 , 72 ]. Despite extensive searching, we were unable to obtain the complete text of six publications through our library and excluded 148 studies.…”

“…We could judge the study by Brahem and colleagues [ 49 ] to have a low risk of bias after additional information was provided by the first author of this study per e-mail. Most often (18 studies), the chronology was not established due to the cross-sectional study design [ 44 , 48 , 50 , 52 , 53 , 54 , 55 , 57 , 58 , 60 , 64 , 65 , 66 , 68 , 70 , 72 ] or due to unknown hypertension status of study participants at baseline in cohort studies [ 56 , 62 ]. The only cross-sectional study to receive a low risk of bias rating for chronology was the study by Brahem et al [ 49 ], because workers who had hypertension when they began working at the electric power station were excluded from the analysis.…”

“…The only cross-sectional study to receive a low risk of bias rating for chronology was the study by Brahem et al [ 49 ], because workers who had hypertension when they began working at the electric power station were excluded from the analysis. We rated half of the studies (12 studies) as having a high risk of bias for the exposure definition and measurement [ 53 , 54 , 55 , 56 , 57 , 58 , 64 , 66 , 67 , 68 , 70 , 71 ]. These studies failed to report details regarding how noise was measured, such as the measurement instrument used, measurement period, and number of measurements used.…”

A number of epidemiological studies report an association between occupational noise exposure and arterial hypertension. Existing systematic reviews report conflicting results, so we conducted an updated systematic review with meta-analysis. We registered the review protocol with PROSPERO (registration no.: CRD 42019147923) and searched for observational epidemiological studies in literature databases (Medline, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science). Two independent reviewers screened the titles/abstracts and full texts of the studies. Two reviewers also did the quality assessment and data extraction. Studies without adequate information on recruitment, response, or without a comparison group that was exposed to occupational noise under 80 dB(A) were excluded. The literature search yielded 4583 studies, and 58 studies were found through hand searching. Twenty-four studies were included in the review. The meta-analysis found a pooled effect size (ES) for hypertension (systolic/diastolic blood pressure ≥140/90 mmHg) due to noise exposures ≥80 dB(A) of 1.81 (95% CI 1.51–2.18). There is no substantial risk difference between men and women, but data concerning this question are limited. We found a positive dose-response-relationship: ES = 1.21 (95% CI 0.78–1.87) ≤ 80 dB(A), ES = 1.77 (95% CI 1.36–2.29) > 80–≤85 dB(A), and ES = 3.50 (95% CI 1.56–7.86) > 85–≤90 dB(A). We found high quality of evidence that occupational noise exposure increases the risk of hypertension.

“…Workers employed at metallurgic and metal-processing productions are exposed to a set of adverse occupational factors [13,14]. As a rule, they are young and middle-aged people who start their career at such enterprises at 23-25; it is extremely important to monitor their health, to provide timely prophylaxis for them in order to prevent workrelated and occupationally induced pathologies since it will make their period of employment longer and result in longer life expectancy [15].…”

Our research goal was to reveal peculiarities related to changes in endothelin-1 contents in blood serum in young and middle-aged people exposed to occupational noise and industrial welding and silicon-containing aerosols with fibrogenic effects. Another goal was to establish a correlation between endothelin-1 contents and blood pressure, body mass, and dyslipidemia. We examined workers employed at a metallurgic plant in Nizhniy Novgorod region. Endothelin-1 concentration in blood serum was determined with «Endothelin (1-21)», a reagent kit for ELISA produced by «Biomedica Medizinprodukte GmbH & Co KG» (Austria). We detected certain group differences in endothelin-1 contents in blood serum and frequency of its elevated concentrations between workers who had to work under different working conditions. We established a direct correlation between endothelin-1 and blood pressure, total cholesterol, and body mass index. Elevated endothelin-1 contents in people suffering from arterial hypertension can indicate a higher risk of complications this disease might have. People who have elevated endothelin-1 contents but normal blood pressure, total cholesterol within physiological standard and normal body mass index can be recommended to have regular medical check-ups focusing on functional state of their cardiovascular system; endothelin-1 in this case should be considered a risk factor that might cause cardiovascular pathology occurrence. An individual approach is required when assessing elevated endothelin-1 contents and probable use of this parameter as a risk factor that might cause cardiovascular pathology in young and middle-aged people employed under hazardous working conditions.

Background: Diseases induced by such physical factors as noise and vibration rank high in the structure of occupational disorders; their proportion increased from 36.6 % in 2004 to 51.15 % in the year 2019. Objective: To assess risks of hearing loss among the seafaring personnel of Novoship PJSC exposed to occupational noise. Materials and methods: The observation group included men with 10, 20 and 30 years of work experience. In accordance with generally accepted methods, an a priori occupational risk was determined for workers exposed to noise at workplaces in the years 2014–2016. Results: We established that the limit of the equivalent sound level of 80 dBA was exceeded by 13–16 dBA at the workplaces of mechanics, electricians, and motor mechanics of the shipping company. In accordance with R 2.2.1766–03, Guidelines on occupational risk assessment for workers’ health: Organizational and methodological aspects, principles and criteria, the health risk posed by noise exposure was moderate (significant), category 2, for mechanics and senior stokers (turners) and high (intolerable), category 2, for first-class stokers. In accordance with the Russian National Standard GOST R ISO 1999-2017, Acoustics. Estimation of noise-induced hearing loss, methodology, the probability of mild hearing loss by 26 dB (first degree of sensorineural hearing loss) in seafarers of the studied occupations at the age of 40, 50 and 60 years with a 10-year work experience years was 13.1 %, 29.7 %, and 50.4 %, respectively; the probability of moderate hearing loss by 41 dB (second degree of sensorineural hearing loss) was 0 % for the age of 40 and 50 years and 17.0 % for the age of 60 years; the probability of mild hearing loss by 26 dB at the age of 50 with a work experience of 20 and 30 years was 36.7 % and 52.2 %, at the age of 60 – 58.2 % and 72.2 %; the probability of moderate hearing loss by 41 dB for these age groups was 0 % and 23.2 % for the seafarers with 20 years of experience, 27.4 % and 44.7 % for the seafarers with 30 years of experience, respectively. Conclusion: Effective planning of measures for noise-induced occupational disease prevention requires a legislative decision on compulsory assessment of occupational risks of noise-induced hearing loss based on the results of audiometry of workers exposed to sound levels above 80 dBA within annual health checkups.
