Description

Accepting the fact of a growing urban population and associated health risks, such as increased exposure to pollutants, and considering the high prevalence of chronic
diseases, this study aims to investigate the relationship between exposure to environmental noise and depression. The primary objective is to determine the potential
mediating role of chronic diseases in this relationship. This study is part of the European H2020 URBANOME project, designed to explore the relationship between the
environment and health in urban settings. The main goal of the project is to promote urban health, well-being, and liveability by systematically integrating health concerns
into urban policies and civic activities.
