Study links living near airports with higher risk of heart problems due to noise exposure.
A recent study suggests that living near airports and being exposed to high aircraft noise levels may increase the risk of heart problems, including heart attacks, strokes, and abnormal heart rhythms.
Researchers from University College London analyzed heart imaging data from over 3,600 people living near major UK airports and found that those exposed to higher noise levels had stiffer and thicker heart muscles that were less efficient at pumping blood.
Exposure to nighttime aircraft noise, which can disrupt sleep, had a particularly negative impact on heart health.
While the study is observational, it adds to growing evidence that aircraft noise can adversely affect heart health.
