Associations between global noise annoyance (per one interquartile range) and adiposity (mixed linear models) (n = 132)

Exposure indicator	Change (95% CI)
	Body mass index (kg/m2)	Waist circumference (cm)
Global noise annoyance
Basic model (gender and age)	−1.91 (−3.22, −0.59)*	−4.71 (−9.38, −0.05)*
Main modela	−2.34 (−4.27, −0.41)*	−7.89 (−14.19, −1.59)*

L _den = day–evening–night equivalent noise level, L _night = night equivalent noise level. Interquartile range for global noise annoyance is 2.80. Change is significant at *P < 0.05. ^aAdjusted for gender, age + ethnicity (“Bulgarian” or “other”), socioeconomic status (“lower,” or “middle/upper”), education (“primary/junior high school or less,” “secondary,” or “higher”), diet quality (continuous), smoking (“never,” “former,” or “current smoker”), alcohol drinking (“lifetime abstainer/former drinker,” “current light drinker,” or “current moderate/heavy drinker”), physical activity (“inactive,” “low activity,” or “active”), noise sensitivity (continuous), and fine particulate matter (“0.0–2.0 μg/m³” or “2.0–34.94 μg/m³”).
