Recently, it has been suggested that environmental exposures from traffic sources including noise may play a role in cognitive impairment in the elderly. The objective of the study was to investigate the association between local traffic-related noise pollution and incident dementia or cognitive impairment without dementia (CIND) during a 10-year follow-up period.
