Overview

Analysis shows heavy smoking correlates with higher body mass index and CVD risk factors in Japan.

Key Points

  • Heavy smokers displayed significantly higher age-adjusted BMI compared to never, mild, or moderate smokers.
  • Past smokers had an elevated CVD risk score, showing worse health compared to never and current smokers.
  • Multiple regression analysis highlighted strong associations between smoking habits and obesity-related CVD risk factors.
  • Men exhibited notably worse outcomes, with higher BMI and CVD scores associated with increased smoking intensity.
