Study finds boys passively smoke susceptible to high blood pressure in adulthood

A recent study by US researchers found that if boys are frequently exposed to “secondhand smoke” environments, the risk of developing high blood pressure as they grow older will increase.

The American Academy of Pediatrics issued a press communique on the 2nd that researchers from the University of Minnesota analyzed relevant data of 6,421 long-term passive children and reached the above conclusions.

These data are from 4 national health surveys conducted between 1999 and 2006. The children participating in the survey were between 8 and 18 years old. They answered questions about whether they lived with smokers and received nicotine's main metabolism. Detection of product cotinine.

The analysis found that the systolic blood pressure of boys who regularly inhale “secondhand smoke” is significantly higher than that of boys who are not exposed to smoking. This undoubtedly increases their risk of developing high blood pressure.

However, the influence of “secondhand smoke” on girls is the opposite, that is, the blood pressure of girls who are exposed to “secondhand smoke” for a long time is lower than that of girls who are not exposed to “secondhand smoke”. Researchers believe that the cause of this difference may be related to a type of substance in women's body that is resistant to “secondhand smoke”, which prevents “secondhand smoke” from causing damage to blood vessels. Researchers will conduct more in-depth studies to solve this mystery.

The study's lead author, Gil Baumgartner, said that while this finding may have little clinical significance for individual children, significant effects can be found if the population is large.

He pointed out that more than one-third of the world’s children are currently exposed to “second-hand smoke” environments and they face the same health threats as children participating in the survey.
