Dimensions profile

Academic interests:

Matthew Bozigar has a multidisciplinary background in civil engineering, geography, epidemiology, and environmental health. He enthusiastically collaborates on interdisciplinary teams to address the multidimensional challenges facing public health. His research investigates the modifiable social and environmental drivers of health disparities, as well as the health effects of transportation noise, radon decay, and particle radioactivity. He often uses spatial and spatio-temporal methods on “big” data in his research.

Associations between aircraft noise and chronic disease risk factors

Matthew Bozigar, Ph.D.

This presentation considers the relationship between aircraft noise, a common type of transportation noise exposure, and chronic disease risk factors. Bozigar will provide information on his research that includes sleep and adiposity among participants in the Nurses’ Health Studies who lived around 90 major US airports.
