“…Results showed that exposure to high noise (>85 dB(A)) caused a 30% higher risk for hypertension compared to lower exposure, while in young adults, the odds were 70%. In accordance with this study, recent evidence from China shows that workers in Wuhan exposed to occupational noise >85 dB(A) had a higher rate of hypertension (21%), suggesting that more rigorous measures should be taken in the industries to ensure cardiovascular protection [37]. The dose-response relationship between noise and hypertension was confirmed also in automobile manufacturing workers [38].…”

The most important risk factor for cardiovascular disease, the leading cause of death worldwide, is hypertension. Although most cases of hypertension are thought to be essential, the multifactorial associations of the environmental influence on blood pressure seem to play an important role and should be more closely investigated. This review attempts to focus on the recent literature that examines the environmental effects on arterial blood pressure and its management. Seasonal variability and the role of ambient temperature, either occupational or recreational noise pollution, as well as obesity due to environment-caused dietary habits, are recognized as important risk factors, affecting the onset as well as the regulation of hypertension. Furthermore, the effects of seasonal fluctuations in blood pressure, noise pollution, and obesity seem to share a similar pathogenesis, and as such to all further react together, leading to increased blood pressure. The activation of the autonomous nervous system plays a key role and causes an increase in stress hormones that generates oxidative stress on the vascular system and, thus, vasoconstriction. In this review, by focusing on the association of the environmental impact with arterial blood pressure, we come to the question of whether most cases of hypertension—if not all—should, indeed, be considered primary or secondary.

“…Higher rate of hypertension was found among workers exposed to occupational noise in Wuhan (21.0%) (Wang et al, 2022). The study by Wang et al (2023), of the 4746 respondents (median age 43 years and 73.4% male), 9.57% (454/4746) had hypertension and 32.4% (1540/4746) had high noise exposure.…”

Introduction: Manufacture company is a company focusing on the plantation located in Ogan Ilir Regency. In detail, this company is engaged in the agribusiness of sugar cane plantations and a sugar manufacturing factory. In the production/processing system in the manufacturing company, there is a large noise in the work area, namely the turbine and boiler. These workers are exposed to continuous daily noise in their work environment, which can cause health problems, including increased blood pressure. High blood pressure prevalence in workers exposed to noise levels greater than 75 dB(A) was 82,4%. Aims: To analyze the relation of noise intensity to blood pressure increase in workers in the Turbine and Boiler area of the manufacturing company. Method: The study uses a cross-sectional study. The number sample in this study is 80 workers. Data analysis was using univariate and bivariate analysis with Chi-square and Fisher’s exact test. Result: The study shows that the majority of workers' blood pressure is not increased by 46 workers (57.5%) greater than workers whose blood pressure is increased by 34 workers (42.5%). Factors influencing the increase in blood pressure were noise intensity, age, years of service, length of exposure, and ear protection usage, and there is no relationship between smoking habits and sports habits with increased blood pressure. Conclusion: There are five variables related to noise intensity and blood pressure increase, and the area with the highest noise threshold value is the combustion kitchen boiler area.

Introduction. In this study, we aimed to identify the features of the dynamics of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) and risk factors for its development in individuals who have worked under the influence of noise for a long time. Patients and Methods. 56 archival case histories of patients with occupational sensorineural hearing loss and 47 outpatient records of patients who worked in relative silence were studied. CVD and cardiovascular risk factors were analyzed in dynamics. Results. The groups were comparable in age, body mass index, prevalence of smoking, obesity and burdened heredity. In patients with occupational sensorineural hearing loss, total cholesterol exceeded the upper limit of normal and the level in the comparison group, and was, respectively, 5.6 ± 1.2 mmol/l and 5.0 ± 0.9 mmol/l (p = 0.046) at the first visit and 5.6 ± 1.1 mmol/l and 5.2 ± 1.1 mmol/l at the last visit (p = 0.037). Hypertension was the leader in the structure of CVD in both groups. In individuals with occupational sensorineural hearing loss, the total number of cases of atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases was significantly higher, both at the first (5 and 0 cases, respectively, p = 0.04) and at the last visit (14 and 3 cases, respectively, p = 0.01). Conclusion. Individuals who have worked in noise for a long time have an increased cardiovascular risk by the time occupational hearing loss is established. Abnormalities of lipid metabolism presumably represent a main contribution to the formation of this risk. At the same time, atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases are more often detected among individuals who worked in noise than among those who worked in relative silence.
