Objective: To assess the role of occupational noise exposure on pregnancy complications in urban Nordic populations.
Methods: A study population covering five metropolitan areas in Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden was generated using national birth registries linked with occupational and residential environmental exposures and sociodemographic variables. The data covered all pregnancies during 5-11 year periods in 2004‒2016, resulting in 373 184 pregnancies.

- 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
- * Analyzing data from nearly 15 million individuals, the findings show that men with lower SES have higher risks of developing various HNCs, while managers experience lower risks.
- * The study suggests that targeted public health interventions, such as tobacco and alcohol control and better healthcare access, are needed for socio-economically disadvantaged groups to address the disparities in HNC incidence.
Background: Emerging evidence shows that long-term exposure to air pollution, road traffic noise, and greenness can each be associated with cardiovascular disease, but only few studies combined these exposures. In this study, we assessed associations of multiple environmental exposures and incidence of myocardial infarction using annual time-varying predictors.
Materials And Methods: In a population-based cohort of 20,407 women in Sweden, we estimated a five-year moving average of residential exposure to air pollution (PM, PM and NO), road traffic noise (L), and greenness (normalized difference vegetation index, NDVI in 500 m buffers), from 1998 to 2017 based on annually varying exposures and address history.
