The association between electronic cigarette (EC) use and respiratory health in adults.
By Lily Ramsey, LLMReviewed by Lily Ramsey, LLMAug 2 2024 A recent study published in BMC Public Health investigated the association between electronic cigarette use and respiratory health in adults. They found that both short- and long-term use of EC elevated the risk of various respiratory symptoms.
Despite these concerns, there are limited epidemiological studies assessing the short- and long-term effects of vaping habits on respiratory health. Further, a longitudinal app-based survey was conducted over 60 days, involving 306 participants. Notifications were sent via the app to remind participants.
Covariates, including age, sex, education, race/ethnicity, and smoking status, were assessed at baseline. Statistical analysis involved the use of the Pearson Chi-square test, Fisher’s exact test, generalized linear mixed models with random intercepts, and adjustments for covariates. Statistically significant differences were observed in frequent cough, wheeze, frequent phlegm, shortness of breath, and chest cold symptoms between EC users and non-users.
