  1. Odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) are derived from a logistic regression model modeling for prevalent/incident cardiovascular disease (CVD, composite variable comprising atrial fibrillation, coronary artery disease, myocardial infarction, stroke, chronic heart failure, peripheral artery disease, and venous thromboembolism per point increase in noise annoyance).
  2. N denotes model 3.
  3. Model 3 was adjusted for sex, age, socioeconomic status, night shift work, use of earplugs, years lived in residence, diabetes mellitus, arterial hypertension, smoking, obesity, dyslipidemia, family history of myocardial infarction or stroke, and medication use (diabetic drugs, antithrombotic agents, antihypertensives, diuretics, beta-blockers, calcium channel blocker, agents acting on the renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system, and lipid modifying agents).
  4. Significant values are in [bold].
