Persoanele care trăiesc în zone cu trafic intens ar putea avea un risc mai mare de Parkinson

Long-term exposure to traffic noise is linked to a higher risk of developing Parkinson's disease, likely due to sleep disruption and systemic stress, according to a new study. Researchers analyzed over three million Danes aged 40 and older from 2000 to 2017. They found that for every increase of about 11 decibels of noise, the risk of Parkinson's rose by approximately 3%. A quieter part of the home can act as a protective buffer, reducing these harmful effects. The findings suggest chronic noise may lead to neuroinflammation and oxidative stress in the brain, particularly affecting dopamine production. Parkinson's disease is a significant global health issue, affecting over 11 million people worldwide.
