Abstract

Objectives: To determine the relationship between occupational noise, and obesity and body mass index (BMI) changes.

Methods: Baseline data were collected from participants (n = 1264) who were followed for 6 years in a retrospective study. The noise exposure level (L_Aeq,8h) was determined by equivalent continuous weighted sound pressure levels using the fixed-point surveillance method for noise monitoring. The cumulative noise exposure (CNE) level was determined using the equal energy formula, which is based on exposure history and level.

Results: The incidence of obesity at low (RR = 2.364, 95% CI 1.123-4.739]), medium (RR = 3.921, 95% CI 1.946-7.347]), high (RR = 5.242, 95% CI 2.642-9.208]), and severe noise levels (RR = 9.322, 95% CI 5.341-14.428]) was higher risk than the L_Aeq,_8h control level. The risk of obesity among participants exposed to low (RR = 2.957, 95% CI 1.441-6.068]) and high cumulative noise levels (RR = 7.226, 95% CI 3.623-14.415]) was greater than the CNE control level. For every 1 dB(A) increase in L_Aeq,8h, the BMI increased by 0.063 kg/m² (95% CI 0.055-0.071], SE = 0.004). For every 1 dB(A) increase in the CNE, the BMI increased by 0.102 kg/m² (95% CI 0.090-0.113], SE = 0.006).

Conclusions: Occupational noise is related to the incidence of obesity. The occupational noise level and occupational noise cumulative level were shown to be positively correlated with an increase in BMI.

职业噪声与肥胖之间的关系：中国的一项回顾性队列研究。

目的：确定职业噪声与肥胖和体重指数（BMI）变化之间的关系：确定职业噪声与肥胖和体重指数（BMI）变化之间的关系：在一项回顾性研究中，收集了参与者（n = 1264）的基线数据，并对其进行了为期 6 年的跟踪调查。噪声暴露水平（LAeq,8h）是通过等效连续加权声压级确定的，采用的是噪声监测的定点监测方法。累积噪声暴露（CNE）水平是根据暴露历史和水平，采用等能量公式确定的：结果：低噪声水平（RR = 2.364，95% CI 1.123-4.739]）、中噪声水平（RR = 3.921，95% CI 1.946-7.347]）、高噪声水平（RR = 5.242，95% CI 2.642-9.208]）和严重噪声水平（RR = 9.322，95% CI 5.341-14.428]）的肥胖发生率高于 LAeq,8h 控制水平。暴露于低累积噪声水平（RR = 2.957，95% CI 1.441-6.068]）和高累积噪声水平（RR = 7.226，95% CI 3.623-14.415]）的参与者患肥胖症的风险高于 CNE 对照水平。LAeq,8h 每增加 1 dB(A)，BMI 增加 0.063 kg/m2 (95% CI 0.055-0.071], SE = 0.004)。CNE 每增加 1 dB(A)，BMI 增加 0.102 kg/m2 (95% CI 0.090-0.113], SE = 0.006)：结论：职业噪声与肥胖的发生率有关。结论：职业噪声与肥胖症的发病率有关，职业噪声水平和职业噪声累积水平与体重指数的增加呈正相关。

期刊介绍： International Archives of Occupational and Environmental Health publishes Editorials, Review Articles, Original Articles, and Letters to the Editor. It welcomes any manuscripts dealing with occupational or ambient environmental problems, with a special interest in research at the interface of occupational health and clinical medicine. The scope ranges from Biological Monitoring to Dermatology, from Fibers and Dust to Human Toxicology, from Nanomaterials and Ultra-fine Dust to Night- and Shift Work, from Psycho-mental Distress and Burnout to Vibrations. A complete list of topics can be found on the right-hand side under For authors and editors. In addition, all papers should be based on present-day standards and relate to: -Clinical and epidemiological studies on morbidity and mortality -Clinical epidemiological studies on the parameters relevant to the estimation of health risks -Human experimental studies on environmental health effects. Animal experiments are only acceptable if relevant to pathogenic aspects. -Methods for studying the topics mentioned above.
