We aimed to investigate associations between snus and cardiometabolic health markers among young men and women.
Method: This study was conducted within the BAMSE birth cohort and included participants followed up around 24 years (n=2256) and 26 years (n=1011).
Article Synopsis
- This study investigated the relationship between transportation noise and atrial fibrillation (AF) using data from 11 Nordic cohorts, totaling over 161,000 participants.
- Researchers found that higher road traffic noise exposure is linked to an increased risk of developing AF, particularly in women and overweight individuals.
- Aircraft noise also showed a potential association with AF risk, while railway noise did not appear to be related; overall, road and aircraft noise combined raised the risk significantly.
Article Synopsis
- - The study looked at whether road-traffic noise could cause heart problems, like strokes or heart attacks, while studying a large group of people in Sweden aged 50-65.
- - Researchers used special scans to check for heart disease and measured the noise levels from traffic over different years, adjusting for other factors like air pollution.
- - The results showed that there was no clear connection between being exposed to traffic noise for a long time and heart disease in the group studied.
Background: Available evidence suggests a link between exposure to transportation noise and an increased risk of obesity. We aimed to assess exposure-response functions for long-term residential exposure to road traffic, railway and aircraft noise, and markers of obesity.
Methods: Our cross-sectional study is based on pooled data from 11 Nordic cohorts, including up to 162,639 individuals with either measured (69.
