BACKGROUND Maternal smoking during pregnancy is associated with offspring obesity. However, little is known about whether maternal smoking in pregnancy predicts other offspring cardiovascular risk factors including waist circumference (WC), waist-hip-ratio (WHR), pulse rate (PR), systolic (SBP), and diastolic blood pressure (DBP). METHODS We studied a sub-sample of 2038 (50% males) young adul...

To evaluate the frequency of maternal smoking in successive pregnancies and its association with repetition of low birthweight, a study was conducted of a subsample of mothers from the 2004 Pelotas Birth Cohort in Brazil. Only women with previous histories of low birthweight newborns were included. Women with ≥ 2 previous births were eligible only if at least one of the two births immediately p...

This study evaluated the potential of two dried processing by products, obtained from large and cherry tomatoes (LT CT) after juice extraction to improve oxidative stability pork sausages during refrigerated storage for 20 days. For this purpose, reformulated nitrite-free were manufactured supplementation raw sausage samples with tomato byproducts (DLTB DCTB) at a dose that provides level polyp...

Twenty-five years ago, cigarette smokers in the United Kingdom smoked plain cigarettes with an average tar yield of probably about 35 mg. Now smokers predominantly smoke filter cigarettes and average tar yields have been reduced by half. Epidemiological evidence comparing mortality in smokers of differing types of cigarettes is reviewed. Compared with smokers of higher tar plain cigarettes, smo...
