ARTERIAL HYPERTENSION MORBIDITY IN THEWORKERS EXPOSED TO INTENSE NOISE
Abstract:
Noise exposure contributes to the increased prevalence of cardiovascular disease; there is an obvious relation between this exposure and ischemic heart disease. This article aims at demonstrating that arterial hypertension in a workplace with noise exposure higher than 87 db is an occupational disease. Due to the fact that the relative risk is higher than 1 and that FEP is higher than 20%, we can state with 95% probability that there is an epidemiological association between a noise higher than 87 db and arterial hypertension
