Scientists recently confirmed that people who live in noisy environment for a long time are prone to high blood pressure. However, relevant studies have not found a significant correlation between noise environment and hypertension, migraine and other diseases.
In a survey of 1700 residents in Berlin, the scientists found that those who had more than 55 decibels of ambient noise while sleeping at night had twice the risk of developing high blood pressure as those who had less than 50 decibels of ambient noise. In addition, the survey also found that residents who are used to sleeping with windows open at night have a higher risk of hypertension. However, the announcement pointed out that the survey did not find a significant correlation between noise environment and diseases such as hyperlipidemia and migraine.
It is reported that the newly released survey results are consistent with the findings of another survey on noise and cardiovascular disease released earlier by the Ministry of environment. Based on these findings, Germany has taken measures to reduce noise, such as limiting the speed of motor vehicles in residential areas at night.
