Clinical Trial Summary

Environmental noise represents a health problem for at least one in five citizens of the European Union. Noise exposure leads to the development of arterial hypertension, myocardial infarction, stroke, and obesity. Given the limited information on noise exposure and noise effects on humans in the Republic of Serbia, the overall objective of NOXYCARD is to collect environmental noise levels data; to identify long-term and short-term noise effects on the cardiovascular system; and to evaluate the levels of blood stress hormones, oxidative stress, and inflammation in individuals with normal body weight and individuals with obesity.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Systolic blood pressure	Systolic blood pressure in mmHg, higher values indicate high risk	10, 40, and 50 minutes
Primary	Concentration of stress hormone	Cortisol level in mcg/dL, higher values indicate high risk	10, 40, and 50 minutes
Secondary	Diastolic blood pressure	Diastolic blood pressure in mmHg, higher values indicate high risk	10, 40, and 50 minutes
Secondary	Concentration of inflammation parameters	Interleukin-1-Beta levels in pg/mL, higher values indicate high risk	10, 40, and 50 minutes
