Feodoroff M, et al. – In this study, researchers assessed the potential dose-dependent effects of smoking on the risk of coronary heart disease, heart failure, and stroke in individuals with type 1 diabetes. They analyzed data from 4,506 individuals with type 1 diabetes who were participating in the Finnish Diabetic Nephropathy (FinnDiane) study. In this study population, researchers observed a dose-relationship between smoking and cardiovascular disease. Men, in particular, continuously displayed a higher risk of incident stroke even after smoking cessation, and those with current and former smoker status had increased risk independently of other risk factors.
