Traffic noise affects residents’ health. Studies have shown that traffic noise can cause high blood pressure.
Traffic noise affects the sleep quality of the old people
If a person is exposed to traffic noise above 60 decibels for a long time, the risk of hypertension will be greatly increased, and he may even suffer from other cardiovascular diseases.
The elderly are a high-risk group for high blood pressure. The sleep quality of the elderly is poor. If they are disturbed by noise, it will affect their sleep quality.
Noise sound causes repeated fluctuations of blood pressure in patients with high blood pressure, which can easily lead to complications of hypertension.
Traffic noise shall increase the risk of hypertension
Another study on patients with high blood pressure found that people under 60 years old, if they are often affected by noise above 60 decibels, have a 3-5 times higher risk of high blood pressure than normal people.
Traffic noise is now a serious social problem, especially harmful to patients with high blood pressure. Therefore, measures should be taken to eliminate and reduce traffic noise to prevent it from causing hypertension.
