Database objective
Main objective The purpose of DEBATS is to better understand and better quantify the effects of aircraft noise exposure on the health of people living near French airports. A global approach is adopted to characterise the relationships between exposure to aircraft noise and the health conditions of those living near the airport on both a physical and mental level, but also in terms of annoyance.
DEBATS includes two studies corresponding to two types of methodological approaches (an ecological study and a longitudinal individual study), as well as a complementary individual study. The subjects included in the two individual studies will be selected from within the zones where the aggregated macroscopic data are available for the ecological study. The comparison of the results from these two types of methodological approaches and the confirmation of their consistency allows for the confirm the reality of the associations that will be shown.
DEBATS consists of a national research program among those residing near three French airports, Paris-Charles de Gaulle, Lyon-Saint Exupéry and Toulouse-Blagnac.
It includes:
• An ecological study consisting of a collection of health indicators aggregated at the municipality scale (consumption of care prescribed and reimbursed by health insurance, unreimbursed sale of medications by pharmacies, all-cause mortality and mortality from specific causes) with the weighted average level of exposure to aircraft noise of the municipalities involved.
• An individual longitudinal study including 1,244 subjects. During their inclusion in the study, and then two and four years afterward, the information concerning their health condition is obtained at the participants' homes, firstly by administering a questionnaire (effects on sleep and the cardiovascular system, anxiety and depressive disorders and annoyance), and secondly by measuring their blood pressure, heart rate and concentration of salivary cortisol (marker of stress states).
• A complementary individual study called the "sleep study", including 90 individuals living near the Paris-Charles de Gaulle airport and 20 individuals living near the Toulouse-Blagnac airport who have agreed to participate in the previous study. The objective is to characterise, in a detailed and specific manner, the acute effects of aircraft noise on the quality of sleep, while refining the measurement of exposure to noise.
Inclusion criteria The individuals recruited are 18 years of age or older, who live in one of the municipalities located in the study area and who live in their current housing located in this municipality for at least six months out of the year. In order to be eligible, the subjects must be available throughout the study and must understand and speak French adequately, regardless of nationality, to answer a questionnaire and to undergo various physiological, acoustic and sleep quality measurements.

Declarative data (detail) Face to face interview
Details of collected declarative data Demographic and socioeconomic characteristics of the participants, characteristics of their housing, description of their family, data regarding the perception of the environment and, in particular, annoyance due to noise (specifically from aircraft), habits (sleep, sport activities, activities exposing them to sound, consumption of tobacco and alcohol), health data (hospitalisations, consultations, missed days of work, hypertension, cardiovascular diseases, anxiety and depressive disorders, psychological distress, sleep disorders, consumption of medications).
Biological data (detail) Measurements of the heart rate and blood pressure, saliva samples to determine the concentration of salivary cortisol, actimetric and heart rhythm measurements to determine awakenings during sleep.
Administrative data (detail) At the scale of municipalities in the study area: mortality data from the Cépi-DC, data from the SNIIRAM (Number of consultations, number of medications that have been prescribed by a physician and reimbursed by Health Insurance, by large families of medications, number of days of work missed due to a medical reason, number of hospitalisations for certain causes, except for PSY), data from the PMSI (number of hospitalisations for PSY causes).
