Ventilatory function, height, and mortality among lifelong non-smokers.
STUDY OBJECTIVE The aims were to determine the relationship between spirometric indices and mortality among lifelong non-smokers, and to investigate whether the association of short stature with increased risk of death is explained by reduced levels of ventilatory function in shorter men. DESIGN The study was a nested (within cohort) case-control analysis of an 18 year prospective study of mo...
متن کاملVentilatory function as a predictor of mortality in lifelong non-smokers: evidence from large British cohort studies
BACKGROUND Reduced ventilatory function is an established predictor of all-cause mortality in general population cohorts. We sought to verify this in lifelong non-smokers, among whom confounding by active smoking can be excluded, and investigate associations with circulatory and cancer deaths. METHODS In UK Biobank, among 149 343 white never-smokers aged 40-69 years at entry, 2401 deaths occu...
متن کاملCigarette smoking and bronchial carcinoma: dose and time relationships among regular smokers and lifelong non-smokers.
In a 20-year prospective study on British doctors, smoking habits were ascertained by questionnaire and lung cancer incidence was monitored. Among cigarette smokers who started smoking at ages 16-25 and who smoked 40 or less per day, the annual lung cancer incidence in the age range 40-79 was:0.273X10(-12). (cigarettes/day+6)2. (age--22.5)4.5. The form of the dependence on dose in this relation...
متن کاملSmall airway hyperreactivity among lifelong non-atopic non-smokers exposed to isocyanates.
The development of isocyanate asthma is little understood. To gain more knowledge in this area, a group of 20 workers occupationally exposed to isocyanates, five subjects with clinical isocyanate asthma, and a control group of 10 people not exposed to isocyanate were examined with lung function tests and a methacholine provocation test. Forced expiratory volume in one second and tests aimed at ...
متن کاملIschaemic heart disease mortality risks for smokers and non-smokers.
Although many studies have shown that smoking is associated with an increased risk of death from ischaemic heart disease (IHD), and that the increase appears to vary with age and amount smoked, there has been little formal specification or estimation of the relationship. In this paper two alternative models are tested, using data for different ages and levels of smoking from four major studies ...
