Health Effects of Aviation-Related Noise in the Elderly
Few studies to date have characterized the influence of aviation-related noise on health outcomes relevant to benefit-cost analyses, such as mortality or health care utilization, and very little work has been done in the United States (US). To our knowledge, no major US study has estimated the association between long-term exposure to noise and cardiovascular outcomes while accounting for the potential confounding from air pollution and socioeconomic determinants of health. In Project 44 employs national data on Medicare enrollees and noise contours surrounding each of 95 airports to evaluate the linkage between aviation-related noise and hospital admissions for cardiovascular disease.
