Association between noise exposure in daily life and depressive symptoms
Objective To examine the association between noise exposure in daily life and depressive symptoms,so as to provide the evidence for reducing the impact of noise in daily life on depressive symptoms.Methods Based on the 2015 to 2020 database of National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey,demographic information and noise expo-sure in daily life were collected from people aged 18 years and over.Depressive symptoms were evaluated using the Pa-tient Health Questionnaire-9.The relationship between noise exposure in daily life and depressive symptoms were ana-lyzed using a multivariable logistic regression model.Results A total of 3216 individuals were enrolled,including 1707 males (53.08%) and 1509 females (46.92%).The mean age was (49.30±18.07) years.There were 491 individu-als with noise exposure in daily life,accounting for 15.27%.There were 265 cases with depressive symptoms,account-ing for 8.24%.There were 66 individuals exposed to noise in daily life in the group with depression symptoms (24.91%),and 425 individuals exposed to noise in daily life in the normal group (14.40%),with statistically significant difference in noise exposure in daily life between the two groups (P<0.05).Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that after adjusting for gender,age,educational level,marital status,household income poverty ratio,sleep dura-tion,alcohol consumption and hearing,individuals who had noise exposure in daily life (OR=1.743,95%CI:1.258-2.413) were more likely to have high risk of depressive symptoms.Conclusion Noise exposure in daily life was associ-ated with an increased risk of depressive symptoms.
