Even a small constant noise more noise sensitive people significantly increases the risk to remain for early disability pension. This is evident from a recent Finnish twin studies, says the noise researcher, specialist in occupational health Marja Heinonen-Guzejev.

– Meluherkkys increases the risk of disability pension for more than 40 per cent. It is therefore advisable to pay more attention to the noise in the workplace, as well as the fight against meluherkkyyteen työteveyshuollossa, says Heinonen-Guzejev.

Subdued in the workplace, such as open-plan office noise, noise-sensitive works, and various cognitive functions such as remembering and learning, are worse than others.

The noise sensitivity is common: the Finnish studies have shown that noise-sensitive people is more than a third of foreign studies show that as much as half. Men are more sensitive to noise than women.

It is known that the loud noise damage your ears and hearing organs, but even a small recurring noise can cause other serious diseases. The noise intensity explains only part of the noise-sensitive drawbacks.

– The intensity of the noise, the noise level explains only about one-fifth of noise annoyance, says Marja Heinonen-Guzejev.

Noise makes you fat

The new Swedish-Norwegian research shows that the noise also increases with obesity.Each ten-decibel increase in noise increases your waist measure cents. The noise associated with human hormone cocktail in even this self-unconsciously.

 – Exposure to noise will affect the way that your weight goes up. In another study, whereas if the mother is exposed to noise, it may have a fetal weight-reducing effect, says Marja Heinonen-Guzejev.

Low birth weight, in turn, is connected to the future long-term health effects such as blood pressure and diabetes. The World Health Organization’s list of general noise impacts are not only nervousness and stress, including sleep problems and insomnia, as well as cardiovascular diseases. Contrary to what is often said, a person does not get used to the noise.

– It has been a long-term noise, a clear link to hypertension and sepelvaltiomotautiin infarction, as well as in many of the study. It is also associated with stroke risk in elderly individuals, says the noise Marja Heinonen-Guzejev.

Matalakin noise damage

Serious diseases has also been called long-term exposure to noise.

– Blood pressure, this means more than 50 dB to 60 dB in coronary artery disease and exposure to noise. The longer the exposure and louder the noise level, the higher the illnesses during the says Marja Heinonen-Guzejev.

As well as blood pressure and coronary heart disease risk will increase the noise limits are fairly quiet, for example, normal office noise is about 50 dB and the standard level of 60 decibels discussion. Learning and memory is affected by even a smaller noise, already at 40 dB and sleep even more, to a lesser noise.

Noise and diseases, and the connection is produced mainly in two ways: stressihormoneista, such as adrenalin and cortisol, on the other hand, as well as difficulty sleeping through.

– When you sleep poorly, it has a bad effect on the heart and blood circulation in the body.And because of the noise is a stress factor, it quickens the pulse, raises blood pressure and increases the secretion of stress hormones. When the condition persists longer, it can develop high blood pressure, says a medical doctor, noise Marja Heinonen-Guzejev.

If the small particles and the noise has been shown similar effects on the heart and blood circulation in the body. According to WHO, one third of the EU, the people who live exposed to greater than 55 decibels of noise. In Finland, environmental noise is expected to be exposed to 900, 000 people.
