Article Synopsis
- Smoking bans in public places impact smoking habits, but their effect on university faculty and staff is less understood.
- A study conducted at Nayoro City University in Japan after a five-year smoking ban revealed that 17.9% of faculty and staff and only 4.0% of students were smokers, with many continuing to smoke near the campus.
- Results indicated that while a portion of smokers reduced their daily consumption, the ban did not significantly motivate smokers to quit entirely.
Objective: Early life events connected with the risk of later disease can occur not only in utero, but also in infancy. In study of the developmental origins of health and disease, the relationship between infantile growth patterns and adolescent body mass index and blood pressure is one of the most important issues to verify.
Materials And Methods: We analyzed the correlation of current body mass index and systolic blood pressure of 168 female college students with their growth patterns in utero and in infancy.
