摘要: Background We investigated the interaction between exposure to noise and smoking in relation prevalence of hearing loss among women. Methods A sample women aged 20–49 years (n = 1,723) from a population-based cross-sectional study carried out Brazil 2006 was examined. Hearing assessed using yes–no validated question. Biological analyzed additive scale measured with contrast ratio (ICR) assessment dose–response relationship. Results The combined effect cigarette on (adjusted (PRadj) = 3.94, 95% confidence interval (CI): 2.81, 5.52) greater than expected based single effects (PRadj = 1.39, CI: 1.07, 1.81) (PRadj = 2.66, 1.86, 3.82). ICR estimates were not statistically significant. The noise-exposed increased duration (P trend = 0.026), number cigarettes smoked per day trend = 0.034), cumulative tobacco use trend = 0.030), early age at initiation trend = 0.047). Conclusions Noise may have but further studies are still needed. A for is suggested. Am. J. Ind. Med. 56:1213–1220, 2013. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
