Article Abstract
Background: The aim of this study was to investigate baseline carboxyhemoglobin saturation (SpCO) values in smokers and to show the relationship between SpCO and age, years smoking, cigarettes per day, and nicotine dependence. We also analyzed the changes in carboxyhemoglobin in the body during active smoking.
Methods: This prospective cohort study involved 136 outdoor smokers and 60 controls who had never smoked. SpCO, heart rate (HR), and oxyhemoglobin saturation (SpO2) values were recorded with a CO-oximeter device before, during, and two minutes after smoking. Changes during active smoking were analyzed, and all parameters were compared between smoking and non-smoking groups. Age, BMI, years smoking, cigarettes per day, and Fagerström nicotine dependence (FTND) level were correlated with baseline SpCO.
Results: The mean age of smokers was 32.3 years (70.6% male; 22.79% with comorbidities), while the mean age of non-smokers was 36.7 years (38.3% male). The SpCO and HR were significantly higher during (p = 0.006, p < 0.001) and after (p = 0.015, p < 0.001) smoking than the pre-cigarette levels. There was a significant difference between smokers (3.07) and non-smokers (1.77) in terms of baseline SpCO (p < 0.001). Correlation analysis showed that age, years smoking, and nicotine dependence were positively correlated with baseline SpCO. In the ROC analysis, the AUC value for SpCO was 0.705 and the optimal cut-off value was 1.50. In addition, 83% of smokers had a baseline SpCO value below 5%.
Conclusion: In this study, the baseline SpCO values of smokers were found to be approximately 200% higher than those of non-smokers. In addition, SpCO and HR increased during active smoking. However, 83% of smokers had a baseline SpCO below 5% and just 2 (1.47%) smokers had a baseline SpCO value above 9%, suggesting that the intoxication level of 9% in smokers should be reconsidered.

Background: Pneumonia is a major global public health concern. Taking antioxidant nutrients has attracted attention for their potential role in reducing pneumonia mortality. Although studies in Western countries have evaluated this association, the current evidence remains controversial, and research in Asia remains limited.

Objectives: The objectives were to examine the associations between accelerometer-measured circadian rest-activity rhythm (CRAR), the most prominent circadian rhythm in humans and the risk of mortality from all-cause, cancer and cardiovascular disease (CVD) in patients with cancer.
Methods: 7456 cancer participants from the UK Biobank were included. All participants wore accelerometers from 2013 to 2015 and were followed up until 24 January 2024, with a median follow-up of 9.

Objectives: Although lung cancer in never smokers (LCNSs) accounts for an estimated 25% of all lung cancer cases, the temporal trends in LCNS incidence and its broader epidemiological patterns remain poorly understood. Our study examines the temporal trends in LCNS incidence and analyses key epidemiological characteristics, specifically, the trends in mortality rates, survival rates and changes in age at onset to illuminate the reasons for temporal trends in LCNS incidence.
Design: Retrospective population-based cohort study.

Objective: To describe the sociodemographic and clinical characteristics of individuals exposed to smoking or biomass smoke and followed at primary health care (PHC) centers across three states in Brazil.
Methods: This was a cross-sectional multicenter study including patients followed at any of four PHC centers in Brazil. Patients ≥ 35 years of age who were smokers or former smokers, or were exposed to biomass smoke were included, the exception being those with physical/mental disabilities and those who were pregnant.
