Assistant Professor Matt Bozigar was quoted about his research in an article titled Airplane Noise May Be Bad for Your Health.

“Prior research has shown that aircraft noise can elevate stress responses and disturb sleep, but there has been mixed evidence of any links with body mass index,” says Matthew Bozigar, now an assistant professor of epidemiology at Oregon State University, who worked with Peters on both studies. “We were surprised to see a fairly robust link between aircraft noise and higher body mass index.”
