Noise: Dementia & Alzheimer's

  • Umbrella Review and Meta – Analysis containing 19 Reviews and 37 meta-analyses (2 Related to Noise)
  • “We found 9 factors where exposure was associated with higher risks of all-cause dementia: fine particulate matter, particulate matter, nitrogen dioxide, nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, shift work, night shift work, chronic noise, and extremely-low frequency magnetic fields. ... Fine particulate matter, particulate matter, and chronic noise were related to vascular dementia.” (Jones, et al., 2025)
  • Emerging evidence from large cohort studies has demonstrated links between chronic environmental noise exposure and incident ADRD and mild cognitive impairment (MCI). (Bozigar, et al., 2026)
