If it was not enough to take care of food for not winning a few extra kilos, a group of researchers Swedish just revealed that noise adds to the risk factors of obesity.
In a study observational, which has been published in the online edition of “Occupational & amp; Environmental Medicine “, this group of researchers has for years been monitoring a large population sample to check what effect noise about fat gut.
The main conclusion could not be more emphatic The road traffic noise is linked to an increased risk of fat in the abdomen. This noise, coupled with railway and aircraft, means a greater risk of having “love”, also known as central obesity, believed to be one of the most damaging types of fat deposition in the body.
The results of this study, in which 5,075 people in five areas around Stockholm, Sweden, exposed to road traffic noise, rail and aircraft participated since 1999, showed that there was an association between road traffic noise and waist size, an increase of 0.21 cm for each additional increase of 5 decibels in noise exposure.
In this research it has appreciated further that a few more sources of noise a person was exposed while most seemed to be their risk of abdominal obesity.
However, this is an observational study, which can not draw definitive conclusions. But what does seem clear is that exposure to noise can be a stress factor, which helps the production of the hormone cortisol, whose high levels are thought to have a role in the deposition of fat around the middle part of body.
