Noise cause depression and raises blood pressure





One third of the population in Germany from complications of continuous exposure to noise, both of the factories, road works and construction, or of the highways and airports. Previously, the Federal Department of Environment estimated that the death of 2000 people per year in Germany due to complications of noise, ranging from hard of hearing and tinnitus, and heart disease and circulatory, and sleep disturbance.

The study adds a new Germany to the dangers of noise known, a new danger that the noise of the particular impact on women, as it raises the risk of being diagnosed with depression. These risks increase, according to the study, when pregnant women, the situation has been exacerbated «post-natal depression», which affect some women. Was to monitor this phenomenon in the residential neighborhoods near the Frankfurt airport in residential neighborhoods near the airport Cologne (west).

A recent study conducted in cooperation between the Federal Department of Environment and the University of Cologne, and included residential neighborhoods near the airport, which is located between Cologne and the former capital Bonn. The scientists focused their research on 1020 people from the secured health, and adopted the data of health insurance companies and research results in the direct clinical outcomes.
Were compared types and severity of diseases and their effects in these individuals with the 1020 people who live in other neighborhoods far from the airport.

* The effects of psychological

* The Eberhard Greiser, President of the Research Group of the Federal Department of Environment, the study confirmed the results of many other studies on the relationship between the noise of heart disease and blood circulation, but the current study sheds light, for the first time, the psychological effects on women, as demonstrated by the study that the proportion of
heart disease is very high among residents of areas near the airport, and the number Almaniat of depression in these neighborhoods by more than one-third of them in neighborhoods away from the airport.

The Federal Department of Environment found in previous studies that the effect of physical and psychological gender are equally, are increasing the risk of stroke, heart sexes when exposed to continuous noise of an evening, but the situation is different when it comes to mental illness. The researchers note, also, that women's vulnerability to complications evening noise in residential areas was less than men, but they were unable to diagnose the obvious reasons for this difference. On this basis, the study suggests that the noise of the evening flight much more dangerous than others on the lives of residents near airports. Greiser says it appears that women are affected by psychological noise than men to know the reasons but requires further studies on women and compare the results with men.

* Elevated blood pressure,

* It should be noted that the Cologne airport to take action to protect the local population than the procedures of other airports, and this means that the results of the study may be around the «modest» compared to Frankfurt or Munich airport. Cologne airport was one of the most German airports, by virtue of its proximity to Bonn, but the transmission of the capital to Berlin reduced the air traffic in it.

The study shows, too, that the most noise comes from the risks of aviation noise evening, received human sleeping without feeling it. Greiser, citing the results of a study conducted by the German Federal Chamber of Deusto (east) in January (January) last evidence that high noise by 10 decibels in the bedroom sleeping raises blood pressure by 14% throughout the day.

He also pointed to a study conducted by «Imperial Koaig London» to 140 people living near airports, show that the noise raises blood pressure during sleep. Blood pressure starts to rise as soon as sleeping more than noise to 35 decibels. On average, aircraft noise has led the evening to raise the systolic blood pressure of volunteers at about 6.2 mm Hg, and diastolic blood pressure by 7.4 mm Hg.
