Abstract:Hypertension (HT) is associated with environmental noise exposure and is a risk factor for a range of health outcomes. The study aims were to identify key HT related health outcomes and to quantify and monetize the impact on health outcomes attributable to environmental noise-related HT. A reiterative literature review identified key HT related health outcomes and their quantitative links with HT. The health impact of increases in environmental noise above recommended daytime noise levels (55 dB[A]) were quant… Show more
“…So, in [12], an estimation of the noise effect on the reduction of life expectancy, adjusted for disability from myocardial infarction, was made. The influence of noise elevated levels on health is combined by the authors with the subsequent monetization [13]. In [14], quality of life is estimated by indicators of the number of population living in the noise pollution zone.…”
