M1 model was adjusted for age, number of people in the household, occupational activity, economic dependency on airport activities, use of the noise source, fear of a plane crash, homeownership, type of housing, residential satisfaction, source- and authority-related attitudes, and noise sensitivity. CI = confidence interval, OR = odds ratio, SRHS = self-reported health status. * Severe aircraft noise annoyance was modeled. For a 10 dBA increase in aircraft noise levels. Impaired SRHS was modeled. Bold numbers indicate that OR is statistical significant at the 5% threshold.
