Automated Measurement of Pulmonary Emphysema and Small Airway Remodeling in Cigarette Smoke-exposed Mice
Published on: January 16, 2015
Abstract:
Smokers were compared with non-smokers in a sample of 978 women aged 18 to 60 years. The smokers were more likely to come from blue collar occupational backgrounds, they were more likely to report family problems and depressive symptoms, and they were more likely to make excessive use of other dependency type substances. Smoking amongst mothers and partners of the women was found to be more prevalent amongst the smokers. The findings are discussed in terms of their implications for smoking prevention amongst women.
