“…44 Like us, Dratva et al reported stronger effect among diabetics. 19 Indoor air pollution, a risk factor for CVD per se 45 , emerged as an important factor aggravating the effect of noise. Taking BP-lowering medication seemed to buffer the effect of RTN in our study, while Foraster et al did not evidence a signifi cant interaction.…”

Community noise exposure and its eff ect on blood pressure and renal function in patients with hypertension and cardiovascular disease.Folia Medica 2017;59(3): 344-356. doi: 10.1515/folmed-2017-0045 Background: Road traffi c noise (RTN) is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD) and hypertension; however, few studies have looked into its association with blood pressure (BP) and renal function in patients with prior CVD. Aim: This study aimed to explore the eff ect of residential RTN exposure on BP and renal function in patients with CVD from Plovdiv Province. Materials and methods:We included 217 patients with ischemic heart disease and/or hypertension from three tertiary hospitals in the city of Plovdiv (March -May 2016). Patients' medical history, medical documentation, and medication regimen were reviewed, and blood pressure and anthropometric measurements were taken. Blood samples were analyzed for creatinine, total cholesterol, and blood glucose. Participants also fi lled a questionnaire. Glomerular fi ltration rate was estimated using the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) equation. All participants were asked about their annoyance by diff erent noise sources at home, and those living in the city of Plovdiv (n = 132) were assigned noise map L den and L night exposure. The eff ects of noise exposure on systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), and estimated glomerular fi ltration rate (eGFR) were explored using mixed linear models. Results: Traffi c noise annoyance was associated with higher SBP in the total sample. The other noise indicators were associated with non-signifi cant elevation in SBP and reduction in eGFR. The eff ect of L den was more pronounced in patients with prior ischemic heart disease/stroke, diabetes, obesity, not taking Ca-channel blockers, and using solid fuel/gas at home. L night had stronger eff ect among those not taking statins, sleeping in a bedroom with noisy façade, having a living room with quiet façade, and spending more time at home. The increase in L den was associated with a signifi cant decrease in eGFR among men, patients with ischemic heart disease/stroke, and those exposed to lower air pollution. Regarding L night , there was signifi cant eff ect modifi cation by gender, diabetes, obesity, and time spent at home. In some subgroups, the eff ect of RTN was statistically signifi cant. Conclusions: Given that generic risk factors for poor progression of cardiovascular diseases cannot be controlled suffi ciently at individual level, environmental interventions to reduce residential noise exposure might result in some improvement in the management of blood pressure and kidney function in patients with CVD.

“…Adjusted odds ratio (OR) was generated through multivariate logistic regression models.results Of 495 participants, 356 (72%) were women and 474 (95.8%) were receiving antiretroviral therapy (ART). The median age (years) [interquartile range (IQR)] was 43 [36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51]. The overall prevalence of MS per NECP/ATP III and IDF criteria was 27% [95% CI: 20-35%] or 30% [95% CI: 23-38%], respectively.…”

“…While the Global Burden of Disease Study estimated the global impact of household air pollution due to biomass fuel use based on the observed relationship between ambient air pollution exposure and cardiovascular events, very few studies have examined cardiovascular outcomes in biomass fuel users. Emerging data suggest an association between biomass fuel use and coronary heart disease 109 . In a study of participants living in the Brazilian Amazon, elderly individuals with increased exposure to biomass fuel smoke had increased cardiovascular mortality when compared to age-matched controls 110 .…”

Summary Environmental exposures in low- and middle-income countries lie at the intersection of increased economic development and the rising public health burden of cardiovascular disease. Increasing evidence suggests an association of exposure to ambient air pollution, household air pollution from biomass fuel, lead, arsenic, and cadmium with multiple cardiovascular disease outcomes including hypertension, coronary heart disease, stroke, and cardiovascular mortality. While populations in low- and middle-income countries are disproportionately exposed to environmental pollution, the bulk of evidence that links these exposures to cardiovascular disease is derived from populations in high-income countries. More research is needed to further characterize the extent of environmental exposures and develop targeted interventions towards reducing cardiovascular disease in at-risk populations in low- and middle-income countries.
