“…[1][2][3][4][5][6][7] In this study we have shown that severe facial wrinkling (Daniell score >IV) is significantly associated with a lower mean FEV 1 and COPD. Indeed, more than 80% of smokers with facial wrinkling fulfilled the spirometric criteria for COPD.…”

Smoking related COPD and facial wrinkling: is there a common susceptibility?

Background: Cigarette smoking causes accelerated facial wrinkling and predisposes to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, it has long been recognised that there is a subgroup of susceptible smokers who are at increased risk of developing airflow obstruction. We have tested the hypothesis that there is a common susceptibility for the development of COPD and facial wrinkling in cigarette smokers. Methods: One hundred and forty nine current and ex-smokers were recruited from a family based study of COPD genetics, 68 (45.6%) of whom fulfilled the definition of COPD. 124 (83.2%) had no or minor facial wrinkling (Daniell ,IV) and 25 (16.8%) were wrinkled (Daniell score >IV). Generalised estimating equations were used to adjust for familial correlations between related individuals and the potential confounding effects of age and pack years smoked. Results: Forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV 1 ) was significantly lower in those with wrinkles than in those without (mean difference in FEV 1 % predicted 213.7%, 95% CI 227.5 to 0.0, p = 0.05) and facial wrinkling was associated with a substantially increased risk of COPD (adjusted OR 5.0, 95% CI 1.3 to 18.5, p,0.02). The Daniell score correlated with the extent of emphysema on the CT scan (p,0.05) and facial wrinkling was also associated with a greater risk of more extensive emphysema (adjusted OR 3.0, 95% CI 1.0 to 9.3, p = 0.05). Conclusion: Facial wrinkling is associated with COPD in smokers, and both disease processes may share a common susceptibility. Facial wrinkling in smokers may therefore be a biomarker of susceptibility to COPD.

C igarette smoking is associated with facial wrinkling [1][2][3][4][5][6][7] that increases with the number of pack years smoked. 2 5 Smoking is also the major risk factor for the development of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).…”

“…In recent years, due to the observed increase in life expectancy in modern societies the interest in the subject of late adulthood has increased. Many publi cations on aging indicate genetical and physiological conditioning of this phenomenon, yet they do not ex clude the influence of general lifestyle frequently re sulting from the educational level [1][2][3]. In various re search on different aspects of aging, including the in fluence of external factors on the involutional changes, ambiguities which raise questions can be observed.…”

Purpose. Menopause in many women is related to worse health conditions, increased diseases incidence and body mass. The purpose of this research was to investigate whether the differentiation of the involutional changes related to the climacteric period depends on women's physical activity and selected aspects of lifestyle. The following aging indices were analyzed: age of menopause, value of blood parameters, disease incidence, BMI. Basic procedures. The research, conducted in the health care units, was based on the survey approved by the Bioethical Com mittee at the Jagiellonian University. The data of 896 women above the age of 40 were used in the research. Basic statistics were calculated and tests of significance of differences and correlation were applied. Main findings. There is no significant relationship between the level of physical activity, the type of work performed and the age of menopause. However, women performing whitecollar work and practicing sports enter menopause last. In smokers the age of menopause lowered. Women using vegetarian diets and women with high BMI values go through menopause later. High BMI values and nicotine addiction are significantly related to the increased level of blood sugar, diabetes incidence and high blood pressure. The cholesterol level is significantly related to the age of the subjects. The percentage of increased cholesterol level is smaller in women practicing sports who have also significantly lower BMI values than those who do not go in for any sports. Conclusions. The analysis of health and aging indices confirms the highest correlation between BMI and the external factors. Moreover, regarding the specificity of hormo nal changes during climacterium, overweight and obese women go through menopause later.

Cigarette Smoking and Facial Wrinkles: A Review of the Literature

2012

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Research studies indicate that smoking cigarettes is related to a premature development of facial wrinkles. Given that facial wrinkles may act as motivation for people to quit smoking, it is crucial that smoking cessation professionals be able to accurately inform clients about research concerning smoking and wrinkles. Therefore, the purpose of this article is to provide an updated overview of the literature which can be used by cessation clinicians as a practical reference on smoking and facial wrinkles. Databases were searched for peer-reviewed articles that study the association with smoking and wrinkles. In all, 17 articles were located and reviewed for research methods and results. Although facial wrinkles and smoking were measured inconsistently between studies, the overall literature indicates that those who smoke have a higher risk of developing premature facial wrinkles as compared to those who do not smoke. The implications of this review for smoking cessation professionals are described.
