Cigarette smoke boosts Alzheimer's risk A study led by Rusanen M. from University of Eastern Finland and colleagues from other organizations suggests cigarette smoking may boost risk of Alzheimer's disease and vascular disease several decades later. The study, which was published online on Oct 25, 2010 in Archives of Internal Medicine, showed men and women who smoked more than 2 packs a day were twice as likely as those who did not to develop dementia, 2.57 times as likely to have Alzheimer's disease and 2.7 times as likely to develop vascular disease. Vascular disease includes any condition that affects the circulation system such as peripheral artery disease, aneurysm, renal artery disease, Raynaud's phenomenon, Buerger's disease, peripheral venous disease, varicose veins, venous blood clots, blood clotting disorders, and lymphedema, according to Cleveland Clinic, which has nothing to do with the current study. For the study, Rusanen et al. analyzed data from a multi-ethnic population-based cohort of 21,123 members of a heath care system who participated in a survey in 1978 and 1985. Diagnose of dementia, Alzheimer's disease, and vascular disease were made in internal medicine, neurology, and neuropsychology between Jan 1, 1994 and July 31, 2008. During a 23-year follow-up, 5367 people were diagnosed with having dementia including 1136 cases of Alzheimer's disease and 416 cases of vascular disease. The researchers found the associations between heavy cigarette smoking or tobacco use and significantly elevated risk of Alzheimer's disease and Vascular disease after adjustment for age, gender, education, race, marital status, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, body mass index, diabetes, heart disease, stroke, and alcohol intake. They concluded "heavy (cigarette) smoking in midlife was associated with a greater than 100% increase in risk of dementia, AD, and VaD more than 2 decades later. These results suggest that the brain is not immune to long-term consequences of heavy smoking." By Jimmy Downs

Pušenje između 50. i 60. godine moglo bi udvostručiti opasnost od razvoja Alzheimerove bolesti i drugih vrsta demencije dvadeset godina poslije, prema istraživanju finskih liječnika objavljenom u ponedjeljak u SAD-u Minna Rusanen sa sveučilišta istočne Finske i sveučilišne bolnice Kuopio i njezine kolege analizirali su medicinske podatke o 21.123 članova sustava zdravstvene zaštite koji su sudjelovali u ispitivanju od 1978. do 1985. godine kad su imali između 50 i 60 godina. Dijagnoze Alzheimerove bolesti i drugih vrsta demencije postavljene su između siječnja 1994. i kraja srpnja 2008. kad su pacijenti imali u prosjeku 71,6 godina, prema članu objavljenom u on line izdanju Arhiva interne medicine, koji objavljuje Časopis američke medicinske udruge. Ukupno je kod 5367 sudionika ispitivanja (25,4 posto) dijagnosticirana demencija tijekom prosječnog razdoblja od 23 godina, od čega 1136 od Alzheimera a 416 od vaskularne demencije. Bolesnici koji su pušili više od dvije kutije cigareta na dan u pedesetima imali su vrlo visoki rizik od oboljenja od demencije i Alzheimera posebice u usporedbi s nepušačima. Pušači koji su pušili u pedesetima ili oni koji su pušili manje od pola kutije cigareta nisu imali veći rizik od demencije ili posebno Alzheimera. Povezanost pušenja i demencije nije varirala u funkciji rase ili spola, ističu istraživači. - Sviđa vam se članak? Preporučite ga prijateljima putem ovih servisa: Pošaljite mailom
