Background Alzheimer's disease (AD) involves interactions among genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors, yet the contribution of environmental exposures to cognitive decline and biomarker changes remains unclear.

While one of the early symptoms of both Alzheimers disease (AD) and DM-related ADRD is a reduction in cerebral blood flow, the underlying biological mechanisms driving this decline remain to be fully elucidated.

Although current evidence is still limited, especially for chronic noise exposure, high exposure has been associated with faster cognitive decline either mediated through cerebrovascular events or resulting in Alzheimer's disease.
