Abstract

Le rapport entre la perception subjective de bruit gênant et le risque d'infarctus du myocarde (IM) fait l'objet d'une étude comparative portant sur 395 malades (IM) âgés de 31 à 65 ans et 2148 cas témoins sortis d'un sondage aléatoire parmi la population générale tout en assurant la même distribution d'âge et de sexe. II s'avère que—après la rectification exigée par les variables telles que consommation de tabac, âge, couche sociale, etc.—le risque relatif (RR) de IM augmente de manière significative et constante avec le gêne causé par le bruit au lieu de travail. Pour le IM, la perception subjective du bruit vécu au lieu de travail est le deuxième facteur de risque, son importance n'étant dépassée que par le tabagisme. Les auteurs discutent l'incidence possible d'une notification exagérée de bruit gênant. Afin de calculer le risque d' IM attributable au bruit perçu au lieu de travail, des études interdisciplinaires devraient être réalisées pour examiner les liens entre les maladies cardiovasculaires et les stresseurs liés au travail, y compris l'évaluation subjective et objective du bruit.
