Archives of Gerontology and Geriatrics, 10/19/09
Wang C–C et al. – In the logistic regression model adjusted for age, education, hypertension, diabetes, heart disease, and stroke at baseline, persons who had quit smoking and those who continued to smoke were about one–third as likely to develop cognitive impairment as were those who never smoked. However, no dose–response relationship was observed between pack–years and cognitive impairment. Past and current smokers were less likely to develop cognitive impairment during a 10–year follow–up than were those who had never smoked. The present study suggests that smoking may be protective for cognitive function.
