(Curtis S. Peltier) — On July 1, 2014, Dr. Robert C. Lustig, head of tobacco control research at the University of Maryland, presented to the American Association for the Advancement of Science the results of his tobacco and cancer research for which he received grant funding from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
In the study o광주안마마사지 닷컴f 40 American smokers, he analyzed data from nearly 4,700 people’s saliva samples. His conclusions: There is a connection between cigarettes and lung cancer.
“That suggests a connection between smoking and cancer, and probably the other kinds of cancers,” said Lustig, who is a professor of epidemiology at the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, an investigator in the center’s Cancer Prevention Research Institute (CPIR).
The data collected by Lustig showed that American smokers who smoked an average of 50 cigarettes per day for 30-60 years were 33 percent more likely to die from cancer than non-smokers who never smoked.
Smokers who were 45 years or older and smoked 2 or more cigarettes per day were 18 percent more likely to die from lung cancer than nonsmokers, and those who started smoking at some time between the age of 15 and 40 had a 13-percent increase in mortality for lung cancer, according to Lustig’s analysis.
“Some of it is down to the genetics of these individuals,” said Lustig. “Some of it is down to the health of the people who smoked.”
Cancer research has been on the verge of revolution in recent years, when several major studies of its causes and treatment have showed clear links between smoking and certain kinds of cancers. For example, research published in 2013 by researchers at the University of California San Francisco showed that people who smoke two packs of cigarettes a day have a nearly double risk of dying from lung cancer that year than those who do not smoke.
Studies published around the world in the past 15 years suggest smoking reduces risk of bladder, colon, prostate and breast cancers.
Among African Americans, where smoking is the dominant cultural norm,전주안마 전주출장안마 the findings were not as impressive, according to a study by University of Minnesota researchers published in the February 2005 issue of the journal, The American Journal of Epidemiology.
Overall, those who smoked an average of 50 cigarettes a day had a 33 percent increased risk of death and 20 percent increase
