Smoking-related weight control expectancies are a motivational factor for maintaining cigarette use, particularly among women. Yet, less research has investigated the physiological and behavioral daily life weight-related experiences of women with smoking-related weight control expectancies. Increased research could contribute to understanding of maintenance factors for this group of smokers as well as unique intervention targets. Female smokers completed a baseline survey of smoking-related weight control expectancies and 35-days of ecological momentary assessment of physiological (i.e., smoking-related reduction in hunger, end-of-day perceived weight gain and bloating) and behavioral (i.e., daily exercise and sitting) weight-related experiences. Higher smoking-related weight control expectancies were associated with perceived smoking-related reductions in hunger and end-of-day perceived weight gain. Smoking-related weight control expectancies did not significantly associate with end-of-day bloating, daily exercise, or sitting. Given these findings, smoking-related weight control expectancies may maintain smoking in order to reduce hunger and to cope with perceived fluctuations in weight in daily life. It is critical for smoking cessation programs to assess smoking-related weight control expectancies and implement targeted treatments for these women.

Genetic evidence for the causal effects of air pollution on the risk of respiratory diseases.

Background: Epidemiological studies have consistently demonstrated a robust association between long-term exposure to air pollutants and respiratory diseases. However, establishing causal relationships remains challenging due to residual confounding in observational studies. In this study, Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis was used to explore the causal and epigenetic relationships between various air pollutants and common respiratory diseases.

Dry Eye Disease (DED) is a common condition worldwide, with smoking being recognized as a possible aggravating factor. Although observational studies have indicated a potential correlation, the findings have been inconclusive. In the study, Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis is used to investigate this potential causal relationship.

Introduction: Pregnant individuals who smoke face increased health risks because smoking harms both the mother and their developing offspring.
Methods: Using 307 417 Europeans from the UK Biobank, we examined whether exposure to maternal smoking during pregnancy (MSP) interacts with genetic risk to predict offspring birth weight (BW) and smoking behaviors. We investigated interactions between MSP and genetic risk at multiple levels: single variant, gene-level, and polygenic score.
Intermarriage and mortality among Finnish migrants in Sweden: a prospective register study using binational data.

Conjugal ties may contribute to a convergence of health behaviours between migrants and natives, but the association between intermarriage and health outcomes remains understudied. We investigated mortality patterns among Finnish migrants in Sweden according to the spouse's country of birth and compared these patterns with those observed in the native populations of both Sweden and Finland. Leveraging register data from Sweden and Finland, we identified all married Finnish migrants aged 40-64 and their spouses in Sweden in 1999 and corresponding reference groups in both countries.

BackgroundMultiple tobacco product (MTP) use is a public health concern due to their combined adverse health effects. MTP use may have increased since heated tobacco products (HTPs) became more prevalent in Japan. This study aimed to (1) estimate the recent prevalence of MTP use and clarify the associated factors compared to (2) non-smokers and (3) single-product users.
