Does current smoking increase the incidence of cardiovascular diseases in men and women in an urban Eastern-Mediterranean population?
Current male smoking is associated with an increased risk of incident cardiovascular disease in an urban Iranian population over a 12-year follow-up.
An increased risk of incidence of CVD/CHD was found in current male smokers. To confirm and further elaborate these findings, more data of sex-specific studies are required from culturally diverse urban and rural areas of Iran.
Amiri et al. (Mon,) studied this question.
