Environmental noise and childrens`s sleep and health - using the MoBa cohort - project description

Published Updated

This project will investigate the potential effects of residential night-time traffic noise on children's sleep quality, behavioural and cognitive problems and risk of overweight and obesity.


Summary

Environmental noise is an increasing public health problem and one in four children in Norway is exposed to road traffic noise exceeding the recommended level. As most previous studies on noise and health are conducted on adult populations, there is a need for more knowledge on how noise impact on children sleep and health. This project aims to increase the knowledge about the potential effects of residential night-time traffic noise on children`s sleep quality and further how noise may affect behavioural and cognitive problems as well as risk of overweight and obesity. The possible mediating role of sleep in these associations will be particularly explored.
