Figure 2 shows the ORs for hypertension in men and women in relation to daily average road traffic noise exposure (LAeq,24hr).
There were significant exposure response relationships between exposure to night-time aircraft noise exposure, daily average road traffic noise, and risk of hypertension.
Our results indicate excess risks of hypertension related to long-term noise exposure, primarily for night-time aircraft noise and daily average road traffic noise.
24 hour average road traffic noise exposure was associated with 'heart disease and stroke' (OR: 1.19 (95% CI 1.00, 1.41), but adjustment for air pollution in the subsample suggested this may have been due to confounding by air pollution.
Logistic regression with dichotomized annoyance as outcome variable (defined by the two survey questions marked with * in Table 1) with average road traffic noise exposure during a full day (LAeq,24h) entered as a continuous 1dB(A -step or cA -stepcal variable in 5 dB(A)-intervals.
Each 10-decibel increase in average road traffic noise at the current residence was associated with a statistically significant 8% increased risk of incident diabetes, increasing to 11% when road traffic noise was estimated for all the places an individual had lived in the previous 5 years.

Incidence rate ratios (IRRs) for diabetes in association with road traffic noise were calculated for a) average yearly road traffic noise at the current residence, and b) time-weighted mean road traffic noise during the previous 5 years.
Such models allow for highlighting the influence of the main impacting parameters, i.e., the average daily road traffic, the average daily railway traffic, the annual road accidents, the vertical road profile, the horizontal road alignment, the road width, the crossing length, the railway speed limit and the geographic region.
The road has not registered a quarterly rise in average daily road traffic since the autumn of 2010 when the daily average was 44,089 vehicles.
We found significant exposure response relationships between night-time aircraft as well as average daily road traffic noise exposure and risk of hypertension after adjustment for major confounders.
The HYENA (Hypertension and Exposure to Noise near Airports) multicenter study, which included six European countries, revealed an association between nighttime aircraft noise as well as average daily road traffic noise exposure and risk of hypertension (Jarup et al. 2008).
