Association between secondhand smoke exposure and hypertension in never smokers: a cross-sectional survey using data from Korean National Health and Nutritional Examination Survey V, 2010–2012

Abstract Background: The purpose of this study was to assess differences in factors between smoking status of Brazilians living with HIV, as well as assess whether secondhand smoke exposure or sexual orientation was associated with smoking status. Methods: Over 200 HIV infected individuals were convenience sampled. Permission was granted by the Universidade de São Paulo, and trained HIV care nurses conducted the interviews. Results: Two-hundred and five participants were interviewed of whom 39% currently smoked tobacco. Sexual orientation did not associate with smoking categories, but secondhand smoke exposure did. In the ever-smoking model lower education level was more likely to induce smoking behavior and women were 70% more likely to have smoked. In the current-smoking model, attitudes were significant, and women were 75% more likely to be currently smoking. Conclusion: Smoking prevalence is high in HIV-infected persons in Brazil. Comprehensive attention is needed to help individuals successfully quit, including emphasis on secondhand smoking risk awareness and offering coping strategies to prevail over stigma and stress, especially for women.

Exposure To Secondhand Smoke

Background and objectivesActive smoking is associated with higher risk of various diseases. However, the risk of CKD development in nonsmokers exposed to secondhand smoke is not well elucidated. We aimed to investigate the association between secondhand smoke exposure and the risk of CKD development among never-smokers.Design, setting, participants, & measurementsA total of 131,196 never-smokers with normal kidney function, who participated in the Korean Genome and Epidemiology Study from 2001 to 2014, were analyzed. The participants were classified into three groups on the basis of frequency of secondhand smoke exposure, assessed with survey questionnaires; no exposure, <3 days per week, and ≥3 days per week. The association between secondhand smoke and CKD, defined as eGFR<60 ml/min per 1.73 m2, was examined in the cross-sectional analysis. In addition, the risk of incident CKD development was analyzed in a longitudinal cohort of 1948 participants without CKD at baseline, which was a subset of the main cohort.ResultsThe mean age of participants was 53 years, and 75% were women. Prevalent CKD was observed in 231 (1.8%), 64 (1.7%), and 2280 (2.0%) participants in the ≥3 days per week, <3 days per week, and no exposure groups. The odds ratio (OR) of prevalent CKD was significantly higher in the groups exposed to secondhand smoke than the no exposure group (<3 days per week: OR, 1.72; 95% confidence interval [95% CI], 1.30 to 2.27; and ≥3 days per week: OR, 1.44; 95% CI, 1.22 to 1.70). During a mean follow-up of 104 months, CKD occurred in 319 (16%) participants. Multivariable Cox analysis revealed that the risk for CKD development was higher in participants exposed to secondhand smoke than the no exposure group (<3 days per week: hazard ratio, 1.59; 95% CI, 0.96 to 2.65; and ≥3 days per week: hazard ratio, 1.66; 95% CI, 1.03 to 2.67).ConclusionsExposure to secondhand smoke was associated with a higher prevalence of CKD as well as development of incident CKD.
