Overview

Randomized trial shows higher cardiovascular mortality linked to occupational noise exposure in working adults, indicating a significant health risk.

Key Points

  • To assess the association between occupational noise exposure and long-term cardiovascular mortality in a U.S. cohort.
  • Analyzed NHANES 1999–2004 data linked to National Death Index through 2019
  • Self-reported occupational noise exposure classified as exposed vs unexposed
  • Survey-weighted Cox proportional hazards models adjusted for various demographic and clinical factors.
  • 34.5% of participants reported occupational noise exposure.
  • Occupational noise associated with higher risk of cardiovascular mortality (HR 2.12; 95% CI 1.31–3.44; p=0.002).
  • Stronger associations among young adults <45 years (HR 3.71; p-interaction=0.01) and Hispanics (HR 4.46; p-interaction=0.01).
