Scope
Cardiovascular morbidity/mortality describes
Contents
Description
Cardiovascular morbidity and mortality has been associated with noise as well as with air pollution exposure.
Cardiovascular morbidity can include a variety of related endpoints including hypertension, angina pectoris, myocardial infarction etc. We make use of existing review papers on this subject to select ERFs. Please note that this is not the 'formal' and appropriate way to make a selection of ERfs, see protocol WP 1.3.

Definition
Causality
- We need the noise exposure in dB(A)
- We need the air pollution (pm2.5,O3, CO?) exposure in microgram/m3

Data
Formula
Noise and hypertension: A relative risk of noise exposure per 5 dB(A) and the prevalence of hypertension of 1.26 (95% CI 1.14-1.39) was chosen
PM10 and cardiovascular mortality (all ages) A relative risk of PM10 per 10 microgram/m3 and cardiovascular mortality of 1.009 (1.005-1.013) was chosen
Ozone (8-hour) and cardiovascular mortality (all ages) A relative risk of Ozone per 10 microgram/m3 and cardiovascular mortality of 1.004 (1.003-1.005) was chosen
