ABSTRACT
Objective:
To explore the association between occupational noise exposure and cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk in a large Chinese population.Methods:
In December 2019, the study included 21412 retired participants from the Dongfeng-Tongji Cohort Study at baseline from September 2008 to June 2010, occupational noise exposure was evaluated through workplace noise level and/or the job titles. In a subsample of 8931 subjects, bilateral hearing loss was defined as a pure-tone mean of 25 dB or higher at 0.5, 1 , 2, and 4 kHz in both ears. Logistic regression models were used to explore the association of occupational noise exposure, bilateral hearing loss with 10-year CVD risk.Results:
Compared with participants without occupational noise exposure, the 10-year CVD risk was significantly higher for noise exposure duration ≥20 years (OR=1.20, 95%CI1.01-1.41 , P=0.001) after adjusting for potential confounders. In the sex-specific analysis, the association was only statistically significant in males (OR=2.34, 95%CI 1.18-4.66, P<0.001) , but not in females (OR=1.15, 95%CI0.97-1.37, P=0.153). In the subsample analyses, bilateral hearing loss, which was an indicator for exposure to loud noise, was also associated with a higher risk of 10-year CVD (OR= 1.17, 95% CI1.05-1.44, P <0.001) , especially for participants who were males (OR =1.24, 95% CI1.07-2.30, P<0.001) , aged equal and over 60 years old (OR=2.30, 95%CI 1.84-2.88, P<0.001) , and exposed to occupational noise (OR=1.66, 95%CI 1.02-2.70, P=0.001).Conclusion:
Occupational noise exposure may be a risk factor for CVD.
