Children exposed to tobacco smoke could be at risk for high blood pressure
CNN
Children ages 8 to 19 who were exposed to tobacco smoke had a greater risk of having elevated or high blood pressure compared to children who weren't exposed, researchers have found.
Researchers found 6% of children who were exposed to tobacco smoke had high blood pressure compared to 4% in children who weren't exposed, according to a study published Tuesday in JAMA Network Open. The study defined tobacco exposure as a child reporting smoking, living with a smoker or having serum cotinine levels, which measures recent exposure to nicotine, greater than 0.05 micrograms per liter.More Related News
