Information on passive smoking, smokeless tobacco and other health risks



Or passive smoking is associated with disease and premature death. Estimates indicate that nonsmokers 38000-43000 relating to environmental smoke regularly die each year from smoking related causes. 16 the majority of these (35000-40000) dies from heart disease, and 3000 die from lung cancer. There is a dose response effect. More the nonsmoker is exposed to environmental smoke, the greater the risk for premature morbidity (illness) and mortality (death).


Children of smoking parents are more likely to experience a higher incidence of influenza, wind, bronchitis, asthma, and pneumonia. The effects of passive smoking in their lifetime and can range from delayed physical and intellectual development to the dangers associated with long exposure to carcinogenic substances.

The concern is the trend of increasing sales of tobacco products smoked less. Chewing tobacco and dipping death has become popular among high school and college men. World health organization (WHO) has described the growing use of smokeless tobacco as a new threat to society. Nicotine is the addictive drug regardless of delivery method, and whether similar effects in nose, such as smoking, or absorbed through the tissues of the oral cavity, such as in diving and candy. Due to oral cancer may be 50 times higher in long-term smokeless tobacco users than among nonusers. Smokeless tobacco is addictive and death.

Physical inactivity was finally officially recognized as a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease by aha. Improvement of physical inactivity appeared on their latest position statement and reflects the importance of participating in regular physical activity. Changes occur because the weight of evidence has been accumulating in the last 10 years show that exercise produces many important health benefits. This is good news for people who have been physically active, and may motivate some sedentary people to become active.

Physical inactivity (hypokinesis) is a doctorate to the human body. Several weeks of bed rest or chair rest produces muscle atrophy, bone demineralization, and a decrease in ventilator aerobic capacity and maximum capacity. You have been constructed to develop the body and physical strength. American college sports medicine has been a guide for development and maintenance of physical health. Amount of physical activity needed to improve and maintain good health and to affect the elderly is currently under investigation.

Evidence of disease investigator at the center  provides basic statistics for the changing position of the AHA. These investigators showed an association between physical inactivity and heart disease are similar in magnitude to that of smoking, high levels of serum cholesterol, and hypertension. Approximately 26% of the population smoke, 30% greater than the blood pressure of 140/90, and 32% had cholesterol levels greater than 200 mg / dl.

Although these numbers are impressive and significant changes in a will reduce the incidence of heart disease, the researchers concluded that regular exercise is one of the most lifestyle changes can affect the health of the nation. This is based on the fact that 78% of Americans are sedentary or too little exercise to improve their health. Regular physical activity also has a modifying effect on a lot of risk for cardiovascular disease.

Other major studies have supported the view that people who regularly engage in moderate intensity physical activity have less heart attacks and experience fewer deaths from all causes than people who exercise little or not at all. Moderate activity is equal to the walking legs 1 to 2 miles per day for a total of 5 to 10 miles per week. The greatest health benefits gained by those who spent 1500 to 2000 calories per week (15 to 20 miles on foot) in physical activity.

Total of 17,000 people  attended more than 30 years. The people who run regularly, climbing stairs, or participate in sports activities decreased their risk of all cause mortality. Those who spent at least 500 calories per week (5 mile walk or equivalent) to a maximum of 3,500 calories per week (35 mile walk or equivalent) experienced a progressive increase in the elderly.

Investigators in tong TV 22 research institutes to study the relationship between physical fitness and death from all causes. The uniqueness of this study was twofold: first, the researchers measured the physical fitness level of all subjects with the testing work, and second, more than 3,000 from 13 344 subjects were female. Because they lower the risk for cardiovascular disease, women have essentially been ignored as a subject in the study of heart disease.

The results of this study indicate that low levels of physical fitness increase the risk of death from cardiovascular disease, cancer, and various forms of the disease. All differences  have caused deaths among people who are in the appropriate category and appropriate in the low category. The difference between the moderately fit and fit is very significant. For people who exercise regularly, the risk of death from heart attack compared with the risk for sedentary people is 35% to 55% less.

Completed a study is using only women as subjects investigated the benefits of physical fitness compared with the health benefits of walking the three levels of intensity. Walking in a group of 5 mph, which runs in the second group of 4 mph, and the third group to walk at 3 mph. showed good results in physical fitness predicted dose response basis. The fastest walk the slowest increase in walking and increased slightly, but narrowed down the same cardiovascular risk among the three groups. Low levels of exercise are as effective as the highest level in promoting cardiovascular health. Training for health care should not be as strong as physical exercise for fitness.

Lifestyles are sedentary imposes a financial burden on everyone. Active people pay the price of a lifetime subsidy of about $ 1,900 to support the medical costs of sedentary people. The cost of coming together is financed from the program, such as health insurance, hospital coverage, disability insurance and group life insurance. Payroll taxes and premiums for the same finance these programs are for both sedentary and active, unhealthy behavior subsidy program. If sedentary people become more active, they will live longer and healthier, thus reducing the cost of dropping them on others.

Health and longevity returns from exercise and active lifestyles are significant. Estimates indicate that longevity is increased by 1 minute to spend every minute walk and 2 minutes for every minute spent trajectory. Potential to improve the health status according to the American lifestyle through the real behavior of the estimates indicate that 60% of all premature deaths and about 50% to 60% of all disease and disability are preventable.
