They were monitored with an annual health check\u2010ups for nine consecutive years from 1991 to 1999. The subjects were divided into four groups which were determined by noise level categories (NLCs) according to the exposure of noise intensity; NLC\u2010I: office workers who were exposed to &lt;60 dBA at work; NLC\u2010II: worksite technical supporters or inspectors who were intermittently exposed to noise and were not using hearing protection devices; NLC\u2010III: worksite workers exposed to a noise below 85 dBA (TWA) and used one type of hearing protection device, earplug or earmuff; NLC\u2010IV: worksite workers who were exposed to a noise level of 85 dBA or higher in average and used both earplug and earmuff.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>After controlling the possible confounders, such as baseline age, smoking, alcohol intake, exercise, family history of hypertension, systolic blood pressure (SBP), or diastolic blood pressure (DBP), and changes in body mass index (BMI), we determined that the mean values for the SBP over the duration of this study were 3.8, 2.0, and 1.7 mmHg higher in groups NLC\u2010IV, NLC\u2010III, and NLC\u2010II, respectively, in comparison to that of the NLC\u2010I group.
