A recent study published in the BMC Public Health unveiled a previously overlooked connection between the occupational noise exposure and the prevalence of arthritis, including rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and osteoarthritis (OA).
The study led by Zhounan Wu and team utilized data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) and analyzed information from 2005 to 2012 and pre-pandemic data up to March 2020. This comprehensive analysis assessed the impact of workplace noise on the development of arthritis in real-world scenarios.
