The life-course impact of smoking on hypertension, myocardial infarction and respiratory diseases

Abstract The objective of this study was to examine the impact of smoking on respiratory diseases, hypertension and myocardial infarction, with a particular focus from a life-course perspective. In this study, 28,577 males from a Chinese longitudinal survey were analysed. The effects of smoking on t...
