Current heavy smokers had a 14% higher odds of diabetes (OR 1.14), 32% higher odds of dyslipidemia (OR 1.32), and 38% higher odds of hypertension (OR 1.38) compared to never-smokers among adults aged 35-75 in Northeast China.

Does smoking increase the risk of dyslipidemia, diabetes, and hypertension among adults in Northeast China?
Smoking status, amount, and duration are independently associated with increased risks of dyslipidemia, diabetes, and hypertension, highlighting the need for targeted tobacco control policies.
Effect estimate: OR 1.14 for diabetes in current heavy smokers (95% CI:1.08–1.20, P<0.001); OR 1.39 for diabetes in former heavy smokers (95% CI:1.25–1.54, P<0.001); OR 1.32 for dyslipidemia in current heavy smokers (95% CI:1.26–1.38, P<0.001); OR 1.30 for dyslipidemia in former heavy smokers (95% CI:1.17–1.43, P<0.001); OR 1.38 for hypertension in current heavy smokers (95% CI:1.32–1.44, P<0.001); OR 1.35 for hypertension in former heavy smokers (95% CI:1.22–1.50, P<0.001)
Smoking status, smoking amount, and smoking duration, rather than quitting duration, are associated with the risk of dyslipidemia, diabetes, and hypertension among adults in Northeast China.
Zhao et al. (Tue,) conducted a cross-sectional in Adults aged 35–75 years in Northeast China with smoking status assessed for association with dyslipidemia, diabetes, and hypertension (n=78,674). Smoking (current heavy smoker, current light smoker, former heavy smoker) vs. Never-smoker was evaluated on Prevalence and risk (odds ratio) of dyslipidemia, diabetes, and hypertension associated with smoking status (OR 1.14 for diabetes in current heavy smokers (95% CI:1.08–1.20, P<0.001); OR 1.39 for diabetes in former heavy smokers (95% CI:1.25–1.54, P<0.001); OR 1.32 for dyslipidemia in current heavy smokers (95% CI:1.26–1.38, P<0.001); OR 1.30 for dyslipidemia in former heavy smokers (95% CI:1.17–1.43, P<0.001); OR 1.38 for hypertension in current heavy smokers (95% CI:1.32–1.44, P<0.001); OR 1.35 for hypertension in former heavy smokers (95% CI:1.22–1.50, P<0.001)). Current heavy smokers had a 14% higher odds of diabetes (OR 1.14), 32% higher odds of dyslipidemia (OR 1.32), and 38% higher odds of hypertension (OR 1.38) compared to never-smokers among adults aged 35-75 in Northeast China.
