Epidemiological evidence is limited regarding the effects of long-term exposure to
traffic-related air pollution and to traffic noise on blood pressure (BP). This thesis aims
at (a) assessing the long-term co-exposure to traffic-related air pollution and traffic
noise and (b) evaluating and disentangling the associations of each of these trafficrelated
environmental factors on hypertension, systolic and diastolic BP in the adult
population of Girona city (Catalonia, Spain).
We studied the spatial correlation between annual average levels of measured nitrogen
dioxide (NO2) and modeled traffic noise levels (L24h and Lnight) at 83 outdoor residential
locations in Girona city. We used data from the baseline examination (years 2003-2006)
of a population-based cohort corresponding to 3836 participants aged 35-84. We
assigned outdoor annual average levels of NO2 and traffic noise at the participants’
postal addresses with a land-use regression model and a traffic noise model,
respectively. Indoor traffic Lnight levels at the bedrooms were estimated based on the
noise protection elements at home.
The correlation between NO2 and traffic noise was high and city area-dependent. NO2
and indoor traffic noise showed consistent and independent associations with both BP
and hypertension. In contrast, the associations for NO2 could not be disentangled from
those for outdoor traffic noise. We also identified potential susceptibility groups.
This thesis adds to the limited evidence showing that long-term exposure to trafficrelated
air pollution and to traffic noise are associated (and independently) with both BP
and hypertension. Further studies are required to confirm these results.
