Abstract

BACKGROUND: Cigarette smoking is associated with an increased risk of peripheral arterial disease, but the relationship between smoking cessation and preclinical peripheral atherosclerosis is uncertain. DESIGN AND METHODS: A cross-sectional, population-based study to examine the effect of smoking and smoking cessation on the prevalence of peripheral arterial disease among 1215 men aged 60-79 years in two Japanese communities in 1999-2000. The ankle-to-arm systolic blood pressure index (AAI) was used as an estimate of the presence of peripheral atherosclerosis. RESULTS: The mean AAI correlated inversely and linearly with smoking status and pack-years of smoking. The multivariate prevalence odds ratio [95% confidence interval (CI)] of low AAI (< 0.90) compared with never-smokers was 3.7 (95% CI 1.1-12.7) for current smokers and 4.2 (95% CI 1.2-14.6) for men with 45 or more pack-years of smoking. In men who have quit smoking for 20 years or more, the mean AAI was higher and the prevalence of low AAI (< 0.90) was lower than those of current smokers, but similar to those of never-smokers. CONCLUSIONS: Our results confirm that current smoking and pack-years of smoking correlate with the presence of peripheral artery disease. The results suggest that smoking cessation for 20 years or more is associated with the regression of atherosclerosis in peripheral arteries. This finding needs to be confirmed by a prospective study.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
