Incident hypertension in relation to aircraft noise exposure: results of the DEBATS longitudinal study in France

Résumé

Background: Although several cross-sectional studies have shown that aircraft noise exposure was associated with an increased risk of hypertension, a limited number of longitudinal studies have addressed this issue. This study is part of the DEBATS (Discussion on the health effect of aircraft noise) research program and aimed to investigate the association between aircraft noise exposure and the incidence of hypertension. Methods: In 2013, 1,244 adults living near three major French airports were included in this longitudinal study. Systolic and diastolic blood pressure, as well as demographic and lifestyle factors, were collected at baseline and after two and four years of follow-up during face-to-face interviews. Exposure to aircraft noise was estimated for each participant's home address using noise maps. Statistical analyses were performed using mixed Poisson and linear regression models adjusted for potential confounding factors. Results: A 10 dB(A) increase in aircraft noise levels in terms of Lden was associated with a higher incidence of hypertension (incidence rate ratio (IRR) =1.36, 95% CI: 1.02; 1.82). The association was also significant for Lday (IRR=1.41, 95% CI: 1.07; 1.85) and Lnight (IRR=1.31, 95% CI: 1.01; 1.71). Systolic and diastolic blood pressure increased with all noise indicators. Conclusion: These results strengthen those obtained from the cross-sectional analysis of the data collected at the time of inclusion in DEBATS, as well as those from previous studies conducted in other countries. Hence, they support the hypothesis that aircraft noise exposure may be considered as a risk factor for hypertension.
