Non-auditory effects of noise in industry. IV. A field study on industrial noise and blood pressure

J H Verbeek et al. Int Arch Occup Environ Health. 1987.

Abstract

Audiometry and casual blood pressure measurements were carried out among industrial workers exposed to noise levels exceeding 80 dB(A). Workers with long-term noise exposure had increased blood pressure, after correction for age. Only a weak correlation was observed between noise-induced hearing loss and the corrected blood pressure. The influence of other working conditions and of the relative body weight could not be evaluated.
