No smoking and life expectancy.

Cigarette smoking and life expectancy.

Statistical relationships between smoking and death-rates may be expressed in a number of different ways, the two most common being either in terms of mortality ratios, i.e. the ratio of the death rate from any particular cause in smokers to the death rate from the same cause in non-smokers, or in terms of the differences between the numbers of deaths from various causes in smokers and non-smok...

Smoking, physical activity, and active life expectancy.

The effect of smoking and physical activity on active and disabled life expectancy was estimated using data from the Established Populations for Epidemiologic Studies of the Elderly (EPESE). Population-based samples of persons aged > or = 65 years from the East Boston, Massachusetts, New Haven, Connecticut, and Iowa sites of the EPESE were assessed at baseline between 1981 and 1983 and followed...

Effects of obesity and smoking on U.S. life expectancy.

BACKGROUND Although increases in obesity over the past 30 years have adversely affected the health of the U.S. population, there have been concomitant improvements in health because of reductions in smoking. Having a better understanding of the joint effects of these trends on longevity and quality of life will facilitate more efficient targeting of health care resources. METHODS For each yea...

Life expectancy in Danish women and men related to smoking habits: smoking may affect women more.

Studies reporting increased mortality in smokers are abundant but only a few have directly estimated survival prospects of smokers in terms of lost years of life or probability of living until retirement. None of these have included large numbers of heavily smoking women. A study of mortality in Danish women is particularly informative because the female smoking epidemic started early in Denmar...
