Key result
Smoking in young adults is linked to increased leukocyte counts, erythrocyte volume, and hemoglobin content.
Why the study?
This study set out to evaluate the detrimental impact of cigarette smoking on metabolic characteristics by assessing how smoking altered physiological factors differently in smokers and nonsmokers.
Does regular cigarette smoking alter blood parameters in young individuals?
Cross-Sectional (n=100)
Does regular cigarette smoking alter blood parameters in young individuals?
Regular cigarette smoking in young individuals significantly alters hematological parameters, which may increase the risk of cardiovascular and pulmonary diseases.
May flag early smoking-related risk in young adults; leaves open links to later cardiovascular events.
This study set out to evaluate the detrimental impact of cigarette smoking on the metabolic characteristics of smokers, looking at how smoking altered physiological factors differently for both smokers and nonsmokers. The results showed a significant difference in hemoglobin content, a gauge of blood oxygenation, between smokers and non-smokers. The findings of the current investigation enable us to reach the following judgment: Leukocytes, average erythrocyte volume, and average hemoglobin content in erythrocytes are all increased by smoking cigarettes on a regular basis. These changes could raise the risk of cardiovascular disease, polycythemia, pulmonary disease, and/or atherosclerosis. According to the number of years of smoking, the groups of smokers in the analysis were divided, with smoking periods of 10 years or longer being the longest

Marwah Isam Sulaiman Musa (2023) conducted a cross-sectional in Healthy volunteers (smokers vs non-smokers) (n=100). Cigarette smoking vs. Non-smokers was evaluated on Blood parameters (Hb, RBC, HCT, WBC, MCV, MCH, MCHC, PLT). Regular cigarette smoking in young adults significantly increased leukocyte count, average erythrocyte volume, and average hemoglobin content compared to non-smokers.
