Δέκα χρόνια ζωή κερδίζουν οι γυναίκες που διακόπτουν το κάπνισμα πριν τα 40
Women who stop smoking before age 40, can expect to live nine years longer than those who continue to smoke, even if the life expectancy of former smokers is lower than those who had never smoked according to a study published Saturday.
In a study published in the British medical journal Lancet, included approximately 1.2 million British women.
Women aged 50-65 years were asked about the specific lifestyle and health status. 20% of participants were smokers, 28% former smokers, while the remaining 52% had never smoked.
The results showed that women smokers had an average 11-year less than those who had never smoked, the risk of death before 70 years, for those who smoke, to be increased by 24%, compared to only 9% for those who do not smoke.
British researchers focused primarily on defining what happened to women who stopped smoking at various ages of life.
They found that women who stopped smoking before the age of 40, could have more than 9 years old, or even 10 years if the break was at the age of 35 years.
"Whether men or women smokers who stop smoking in middle age, will earn an average of 10 years of life," said one of the co-authors of the study, Richard lapel of the University of Oxford.
"This does not mean that women can safely smoke up to 40 years and then stop, why keep coming decades, the mortality rate 20% higher than those who have never smoked," he said.
The premature death of smokers is mainly due to lung cancer and chronic respiratory diseases, and cardiovascular diseases.
For those who quit between ages 45 and 55, the risk of premature death increased by 56%, compared with nonsmokers, but still earn 6-7 years of life compared with those who continue to smoke.
Comparing smokers who continued smoking with them is cut, the overall risk of premature death is almost triple.
The risk increases as the number of cigarettes smoked daily and depending on the age at which women started to smoke. Mati-to
