2003至2010年期间，研究调查对象中有 442,560名成年人因各种原因死亡，其中291,139名为老年人。

The scientists looked levels of road traffic noise between 7am and 11pm, and at night between 11pm and 7am, across a range of different postcodes and correlated their findings with death and hospital admission rates. A number of factors - including individuals' age and sex as well as ethnicity, smoking levels, air pollution and socio-economic deprivation - were taken into account.

科学家研究了多个邮政区域7:00至23:00，以及23:00至次日07:00的道路交通噪音水平，并将其调查结果与死亡率及入院率相互联系起来。个人年龄、性别、种族，吸烟强度、空气污染和社会经济困境等多种因素均考虑在内。

Commenting on the findings, Professor Francesco Cappuccio, chair of Cardiovascular Medicine and Epidemiology at the University of Warwick, said: 'The results do not imply a direct cause-effect relationship. However, they are consistent with other evidence to suggest a possible causal link.'

针对研究结果，华威大学(University of Warwick)心血管医学和流行病学主席、教授弗朗西斯科·卡普乔(Francesco Cappuccio)发表评论称：“这些结果并不意味着道路交通噪音和死亡、中风之间存在直接因果关系。不过，研究结果与其他能证明这种因果关系可能存在的证据具有一致性。“
