ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND AND AIMS:
Noise exposure is a major public health challenge with important implications for cardiovascular health. However, the association between noise exposure and stroke risk remains controversial. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate the role of noise exposure on stroke incidence and mortality by conducting a dose-response meta-analysis of cohort studies.METHODS:
The relevant publications were retrieved via PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Scopus up to June 26, 2022. The potential linear and curve relationship between noise and stroke were fitted using the generalized least squares method and restricted cubic spline. We estimated the pooled relative risk (RR) with 95% confidence interval (CI) by random-effect models. The Grading of Recommendations Assessment Development and Evaluation (GRADE) approach was used to evaluate the strength of the results.RESULTS:
In total, 21 cohort studies with 16,075,204 participants and 311,878 cases were included in the analysis. The risk of stroke incidence increased up to 4% (95% CI1.02-1.06) and stroke mortality increased up to 3% (95% CI1.00-1.07), every 10 dB(A) increment in noise exposure. Moreover, each 10 dB(A) increment in noise exposure was associated with a 4% (95% CI1.01-1.07) increase in ischemic stroke and a 2% (95% CI1.00-1.04) increase in hemorrhagic stroke. According to GRADE criteria, the evidence level in this study was rated as moderate.CONCLUSIONS:
The current findings provide further evidence of a dose-response relationship between exposure to noise and the risk of stroke incidence and mortality. Additionally, we update and fill a knowledge gap that the statistically significant increase in stroke incidence when noise decibels are >65 dB(A).Palavras-chave
