We aimed to explore the association of occupational noise exposure with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) risk in Chinese adults. We included 21,412 participants from the Dongfeng-tongji Cohort Study, occupational noise exposure was evaluated through workplace noise level and/or the job titles, hearing loss was defined as a pure-tone mean of 25 dB or higher at 0.5, 1, 2, and 4 kHz in any ear. Compared with participants without occupational noise exposure, the 10-year ASCVD risk was significantly higher for noise exposure duration >= 20 years (OR = 1.20, 95%CI = 1.05-1.32) after adjusting for potential confounders. In the subgroup analysis, the association was only statistically significant in males (OR = 1.86, 95%CI = 1.12-3.14) and participants aged equal to or over 60 years old (OR = 1.20, 95%CI = 1.05-1.33), but not in females (OR = 1.15, 95% CI = 0.71-1.92) and aged below 60 (OR = 1.51, 95%CI = 0.75-2.85). In the subsample analyses (N = 10,165), bilateral hearing loss was associated with a higher risk of 10-year ASCVD (OR = 1.72, 95%CI = 1.30-2.30), especially for participants who were males (OR = 2.40, 95%CI = 1.61-3.42) and aged equal to or over 60 (OR = 1.85, 95%CI = 1.40-2.44). The present study suggests that occupational noise exposure may be a potential risk factor for ASCVD, especially for males and older participants.
