Misclassification of Smoking Status among Southeast Asian adult immigrants.
American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 1995Co-Authors: M E Wewers, R K Dhatt, M L Moeschberger, R M Guthrie, P Kuun, M S ChenAbstract:A total of 1,403 Southeast Asian adult immigrant males (n = 783) and females (n = 620) from Cambodia, Laos, and Vietnam who currently resided in Central Ohio were interviewed to determine the self-reported Smoking prevalence among them, and underwent biochemical confirmation of their Smoking Status. Variables having to do with the subjects' sociodemography, acculturation, and Smoking history that were related to the misclassification of Smoking Status were also investigated. Self-reported current Smoking rates were 40.9% and 5.6% for males and females, respectively. After verification of the subjects' Smoking Status by saliva cotinine assay (smoker Status > or = 14 ng/ml), the rates of Smoking were found to be greater, at 43.7% for males and 14.8% for females. Years of education, self-reported Smoking Status, country of origin, and method of healthcare payment were significant predictors of misclassification. These findings suggest that the prevalence of Smoking is higher among Southeast Asian adult femal...

Years of education, self-reported Smoking Status, country of origin, and method of healthcare payment were significant predictors of misclassification. These findings suggest that the prevalence of Smoking is higher among Southeast Asian adult females than has been previously reported. Variables that predict misclassification with regard to Smoking Status are presented, and their implications for clinicians and researchers are discussed.

the relationship between Smoking Status and cortisol secretion
The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism, 2007Co-Authors: Ellena Badrick, Clemens Kirschbaum, Meena KumariAbstract:Context: Evidence for an association of Smoking Status with cortisol secretion is mixed. Objective: The objective of the study was to assess the relationship between Smoking Status and salivary cortisol. Design: This was a cross-sectional study of Smoking Status and cortisol secretion from phase 7 (2002–2004) of the Whitehall II study. Setting: An occupational cohort was originally recruited in 1985–1987. Participants: The study population consisted of 3103 men (1514 never-smokers, 1278 ex-smokers, and 311 smokers) and 1128 women (674 never-smokers, 347 ex-smokers, and 107 smokers). Information was collected on Smoking Status, average number of cigarettes smoked, and additional covariates. Outcome Measures: Saliva samples were taken on waking; waking + 0.5, 2.5, 8, and 12 h; and bedtime for the assessment of cortisol. Results: Smoking Status was significantly associated with increased salivary cortisol release throughout the day (P < 0.001) adjusted for covariates; this was apparent for the cortisol awake...

Information was collected on Smoking Status, average number of cigarettes smoked, and additional covariates.Outcome Measures: Saliva samples were taken on waking; waking + 0.5, 2.5, 8, and 12 h; and bedtime for the assessment of cortisol.Results: Smoking Status was significantly associated with increased salivary cortisol release throughout the day (P < 0.001) adjusted for covariates; this was apparent for the cortisol awakening response (P < 0.001) when examined separately. Compared with never-smokers, smokers had higher release of total cortisol (P = 0.002), whereas no difference was observed between never-smokers and ex-smokers (P = 0.594): mean release per hour (nanomoles per liter), never-smokers, 4.13 [confidence interval (CI) 4.02-4.24]; ex-smokers, 4.21 (CI 4.08-4.35); smokers, 4.63 (CI 4.35-4.93). There was no significant relationship between number of cigarettes smoked and total cortisol release. However, a difference was observed for the cortisol awakening response: mean release by tertiles of cigarettes smoked (nanomoles per liter): high, 13.49 (CI 10.74-16.23); medium, 9.58 (CI 7.40-11.76); low, 8.49 (CI 5.99-10.99), P = 0.029.Conclusion: Salivary cortisol is increased in current smokers, compared with nonsmokers; no differences were observed between ex-smokers and never-smokers, suggesting that Smoking has a short-term effect on the neuroendocrine system.
