Background: There is some evidence for an association between traffic noise and ischemic
heart disease; however, associations with blood pressure have been inconsistent, and little
is known about health effects of railway noise. Objectives: We aimed to investigate the
effects of railway and traffic noise exposure on blood pressure; a secondary aim was to
address potentially susceptible subpopulations. Methods: We performed adjusted linear
regression analyses using data from 6,450 participants of the second survey of the Swiss�…
