一项对2674名年龄在65岁至74岁之间的人进行的纵向研究的数据被分析，以确定吸烟是否仍对老年人口的生存产生不利影响。目前吸烟者患冠心病的风险比不吸烟者、前吸烟者、烟斗和雪茄吸烟者高52%。戒烟后一到五年内，额外的死亡风险下降。即使是年迈的吸烟者也应该被鼓励戒烟。
Data from a longitudinal study of 2,674 persons aged 65 to 74 years were analyzed to ascertain whether cigarette smoking retained its adverse effect on survival in an elderly population. Current cigarette smokers had a risk of coronary heart disease death 52% higher than nonsmokers, ex-smokers, or pipe and cigar smokers. The excess risk of mortality declined within one to five years after smoking cessation. Even elderly smokers should be encouraged to quit.
