โœฆ Synopsis

The present study assessed the relationship between noise exposure and blood pressure The study population consisted of 892 children from two elementary schools The noise-sensitive group comprised 583 subjects with normal hearing from one school, while the noise-insensitive group comprised 309 deaf-mutes from another school The deaf subjects had significantly lower blood pressure than the subjects with normal hearing (P < 0 05) after adjustment for age Multiple regression analysis revealed that body mass index, age, and hearing ability explained a significant amount of the variation in systolic and diastolic blood pressure (R 2 = O 17 and 0 16, respectively) On the basis of the results, it is suggested that noise exposure is associated with higher systolic and diastolic blood pressure.

## Abstract ## Objectives: This study tested hypotheses that: (1) levels of adiposity, as assessed by triceps and subscapular skinfold thicknesses (SFTs), and blood pressure would be higher in British Pakistani children than in white British children; and (2) British Pakistani children of mothers
