Objective: To evaluate the effect of smoking initiation on annual changes in body weight, blood pressure, and blood biochemistry.
Methods: This study analyzed the results of annual health examinations from 1991 to 2005 in male Japanese workers. Subjects who started smoking (n=214) initially responded as non-smokers in a self-administered questionnaire (baseline year) and then answered consistently as smokers for 3 subsequent years.
