Key result
Smoking in young males was associated with significantly elevated fasting triglycerides and VLDL-C compared to non-smokers, with triglycerides positively correlating with BMI and waist circumference.
Why the study?
Smoking can alter normal blood lipid parameters alongside BMI and waist circumference, motivating an evaluation of its effects and correlations with obesity indexes in young males.
Does smoking alter serum lipid profiles and correlate with obesity indexes in young males?
Population
46 smokers and 20 age- and weight-matched non-smokers among young males
Comparison
Smokers vs non-smokers

Smoking-associated TG and VLDL-C elevations in young males are hypothesis-generating; larger prospective studies needed before clinical adoption.
Observational (n=66)
Does smoking alter serum lipid profiles and correlate with obesity indexes in young males?
Smoking in young males is associated with elevated triglycerides and VLDL-C, which correlates positively with BMI, waist circumference, and smoking duration.
Diyar Akbar Al-Jaf (2020) conducted an observational in Smoking (n=66). Smoking vs. Non-smokers was evaluated on Fasting serum lipid profile (TG, VLDL-C, TC, HDL-C, LDL-C). Smoking in young males was associated with significantly elevated fasting triglycerides and VLDL-C compared to non-smokers, with triglycerides positively correlating with BMI and waist circumference.
