Smoked young adults parents smoking habits effect on respiratory parameters
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue 6
Abstract
Objective: We have aimed to emphasize the importance of querying the outpatients at the polyclinics on family history of cigarette smoking and exposure to cigarette smoke at childhood and/or adolescence in the home environment as well as determining their current smoking habit.Methods: The study included 72 cigarette smoking young adults within the age range of 18-40 years. Demographic details, personal and parental history of cigarette smoking were noted; the Medical Research Council (MRC) dyspnea scores were calculated.Results: Mean age of the participants was 31 years, with 63.9% being males. Daily mean cigarette smoking was 16 cigarettes/day; the mean duration of smoking was 11packs/year; and mothers of 5.6% and fathers 40.3% of the participants were smokers .At least one parent of the participants with an MRC score of 2 were smokers (p=0,001). While the mean FEV1 for the participants with nonsmoker parents was 3.3lt, this was 2.9lt for the participants with at least one cigarette smoking parent, and the difference was significant (p=0,021).Conclusion:Young adult cigarette smokers who had thus been exposed to cigarette smoke in early life should be accepted as a ‘’high risk group’’ for COPD development and should be put under follow up control for respiratory function capacity.
