Association between long-term exposure to wind turbine noise and the risk of stroke: Data from the Danish Nurse Cohort

Journal of the American Heart Association Jul 23, 2019

Bräuner EV, et al. - Using the Danish National Patient Register, researchers assessed the risk of stroke in relation to long-term exposure to wind turbine noise (WTN). They identified first-ever stroke in 28,731 female nurses in the Danish Nurse Cohort until the end of 2013. For all historic and present residential addresses, they estimated WTN, traffic noise, and air pollution exposures. At the end of follow-up, the development of stroke was reported in 1097 of 23,912 nurses free of stroke at the cohort baseline. Exposure to WTN (≥1 turbine within a 6000-meter radius of the residence) was reported in 10.3% of nurses at the cohort baseline and 13.3% in 2013. Among exposed nurses, 26.3 dB(A) was the mean baseline residential noise levels. A link between long-term WTN exposure and stroke risk was not supported in this comprehensive cohort study.
