Abstract:

Aircraft noise can disturb sleep and impair recuperation. Representative field studies are needed for health impact assessments and to inform noise policy. To evaluate feasibility of a new unobtrusive methodology that objectively monitors sleep and identifies awakenings based on heart rate and actigraphy, an unattended pilot field study was conducted in the vicinity of Philadelphia International Airport. Seventy-nine participants (39 exposed to aircraft noise, 40 controls) were monitored for 3 consecutive nights with concurrent sound recordings in the bedroom. Blood pressure measurements and brief questionnaires were completed each morning. Based on linear mixed models controlling for age, gender, and BMI, individuals living near the airport reported poorer sleep quality on the PSQI (p=0.0180) and worse health on the SF-36 (p=0.0074) surveys. No statistically significant differences were found for morning sleep assessments, diastolic (p=0.7108) and systolic (p=0.3255) blood pressure, or the sleep fragmentation index (p=0.6986) (calculated based on the ECG and actigraphy data). This study demonstrates feasibility of unattended physiological and noise measurements.
