Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To compare the noise pollution and blood pressure in urban and or rural areas of Hyderabad,Sindh, Pakistan.METHODOLOGY: A comparative cross sectional study was conducted from April 2018 to September2018. The sample size was randomly selected 201 young adults of either gender between 18 to 25 yearsof age.RESULTS: The hearing frequency in rural female (29.34Hz±8.04) was significantly (p<0.05) less than theurban female (49.09Hz±7.76). Similarly, the hearing frequency in rural male (24.72± 7.0) was alsosignificantly (p= <0.05) less than that of urban group (40.56Hz±7.6). The systolic and pulse pressure(106.2mmHg±4.35and 38.88mmHg±4.8) was recorded significantly (p=<0.05) lower in rural than Urbanfemale (114.2mmHg±6.03and45.76±4.8). Moreover, the systolic and pulse pressure(108.3mmHg±5.40 and 42.4mmHg±4.71) was significantly (p=<0.05) lower in rural than urban males(114.2mmHg±6.00 and 47.33mmHg±5.00mmHg) respectively.CONCLUSION: The study concludes that noise pollution has potent impact on hearing capabilities andblood pressure in urban areas of district Hyderabad, Sindh, Pakistan
