EPIVIB: HÄLSOEFFEKTER AV ATT BO VID EN JÄRNVÄG

Projekt:

Kompletterande analyser av data från projektet ”hälsoeffekter av vibrationer från tågtrafik” EpiVib

Sammanfattning:
Previous studies show that health can be negatively affected by transportation noise noise, with increased prevalence and incidence of adverse health outcomes, for example annoyance, sleep disturbance and to some extent cardio metabolic diseases. Regarding noise from railway there is increasing evidence for the its impact on human health, while it is less clear how ground-borne vibrations from the rail traffic affect human perception and health. Sleep studies in experimental trials show that even low vibration levels lead to effects on heart rate and disturbed sleep structure. The project, Epidemiological studies on the health impacts of Vibrations from trains (EpiVib) aimed to expand knowledge about the long-term health effects of exposure to vibration from rail traffic among people living close to the railways. Both self-reported health and register data were analysed taking into account confounders. A similar study conducted in the Netherlands has also given us a unique opportunity to make comparisons of the results. Through a qualitative study, we have further deepen our knowledge of people's response to vibrations from train traffic.
