“…The increase of pain with age, strictly resembles the observations for rotator cuff tears [17,18], and likewise, an abnormal BMI has been shown to be a risk factor for developing a rotator cuff tendinopathy or tear [19,20].…”

“…There have been few studies that have identified demographic factors (increased age and increased bodymass index) that may contribute to progression of rotator cuff tears [8,15,19,22]. Tobacco use reportedly occurs in association with musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction but has not been implicated specifically as a contributing factor to rotator cuff disease [9].…”

There is little available evidence regarding risk factors for rotator cuff tears. Cigarette smoking may be an important risk factor for rotator cuff disease. The purpose of this study was to determine if cigarette smoking correlates with an increased risk for rotator cuff tears in patients who present with shoulder pain. A questionnaire was administered to 586 consecutive patients 18 years of age or older who had a diagnostic shoulder ultrasound for unilateral, atraumatic shoulder pain with no history of shoulder surgery. Three hundred seventy-five patients had a rotator cuff tear and 211 patients did not. Data regarding cigarette smoking were obtained for 584 of 586 patients. A history of smoking (61.9% versus 48.3%), smoking within the last 10 years (35.2% versus 30.1%), mean duration of smoking (23.4 versus 20.2 years), mean packs per day of smoking (1.25 versus 1.10 packs per day), and mean packyears of smoking (30.1 versus 22.0) correlated with an increased risk for rotator cuff tear. We observed a dosedependent and time-dependent relationship between smoking and rotator cuff tears. We observed a strong association between smoking and rotator cuff disease. This may indicate smoking is an important risk factor for the development of rotator cuff tears.

“…Several studies have shown that the prevalence of RCS increased with age (9-11) and some suggested a link between RCS and both individual factors, such as diabetes mellitus or abdominal obesity (9,10,12,13), and work-related factors (1-4, 10, 11, 14-18). A recent review of the literature reported that RCS was associated with frequent handling of loads or with high force, highly repetitive work, and work above shoulder level, whereas the association with hand-arm vibration remained unclear (19).…”
