Key result
The combined exposure of smoking and obesity was associated with coronary heart disease mortality in male veterans (95% CI 1.520-5.262).
Why the study?
Evidence is lacking regarding the combined effects of smoking and obesity on mortality from coronary heart disease in male veterans.
Does the combination of smoking and obesity increase coronary heart disease mortality in male veterans?
Cohort
Does the combination of smoking and obesity increase coronary heart disease mortality in male veterans?
The combination of smoking and obesity significantly increases the risk of coronary heart disease mortality in male veterans, highlighting them as a key target population for risk reduction.
May support risk stratification by combined smoking-obesity status in male veterans; leaves open confirmation in prospective trials.
OBJECTIVE: Evidence is lacking regarding the combined effects of smoking and obesity on mortality from coronary heart disease in male veterans. This study aimed to explore the combined effect of smoking and obesity on coronary heart disease mortality in male veterans in China. METHODS: ) were calculated using a multivariate Cox proportional hazard model. RESULTS: : 1.520-5.262) were associated with coronary heart disease mortality. CONCLUSION: Our results suggest that obese veterans who smoke might be an important target population for coronary heart disease mortality control.
