Dejar el h\u00e1bito del tabaco antes de cumplir los 40 a\u00f1os de edad puede prolongar la esperanza de vida de las mujeres fumadoras hasta 10 a\u00f1os m\u00e1s, seg\u00fan datos de el estudio \u201cMillion Women\u201d realizado en Gran Breta\u00f1a y publicado en la revista m\u00e9dica The Lancet.<\/p>\n
En dicho estudio participaron 1,3 millones de mujeres, reclutadas entre 1996 y 2001, con edades de entre 50 y 65 a\u00f1os. Las mujeres fueron seguidas durante un promedio de doce a\u00f1os, y durante ese per\u00edodo, 66.000 participantes murieron.<\/p>\n
Las participantes al ser reclutadas completaron un cuestionario sobre estilo de vida, factores m\u00e9dicos y sociales, asimismo, los investigadores eran informados cuando una participante fallec\u00eda, y la causa de la muerte.<\/p>\n
En un principio, el 20% de las participantes del estudio eran fumadoras, el 28% exfumadoras y el 52% nunca hab\u00eda fumado.<\/p>\n
Los especialistas observaron en la segunda encuesta, es decir despu\u00e9s de 3 a\u00f1os, que las que segu\u00edan consumiendo tabaco, ten\u00edan 3 veces m\u00e1s probabilidades de morir en los siguientes nueve a\u00f1os, que las no fumadoras, debido a sus complicaci\u00f3nes de salud a causa del tabaquismo.<\/p>\n
De igual manera, dos terceras partes de todas las muertes de fumadoras entre 50, 60 o 70 a\u00f1os, fueron a causa del tabaquismo, y estuvieron relacionadas con enfermedades del coraz\u00f3n, como infarto agudo de miocardio, de pulm\u00f3n como enfermedad obstructiva pulmonar cr\u00f3nica, y c\u00e1ncer de pulm\u00f3n o un derrame cerebral.<\/p>\n
Los riesgos que se mostraron en el seguimiento, aumentaron considerablemente con la cantidad de tabaco consumido, incluso para aquellas que fumaban s\u00f3lo un cigarrillo al d\u00eda, ya que las tasas de mortalidad de las participantes gustosas del tabaco fueron del doble de las no fumadoras.<\/p>\n
Study: Women who quit smoking live 10 years longer<\/strong> \u00abAlthough the hazards of smoking until age 40 and then stopping are substantial, the hazards of continuing are ten times greater,\u00bb the authors said.<\/p>\n The study looked at 1.2 million women between the ages of 50 and 69, asking participants questions regarding lifestyle and smoking habits. Twenty percent of the women were smokers, 52 percent had never smoked, and 28 percent were ex-smokers. Twelve years later, nearly 66,000 of the women had died.<\/p>\n Researchers followed up with the women three years later and found that those who had continued to smoke were nearly three times as likely to die in the next nine years, compared with their smoke-free counterparts.<\/p>\n \u00abThe take-home message is that this threefold increase among women who smoked means that up to 66 percent of all deaths of female smokers in their 50s, 60s, and 70s is due to smoking related illnesses such as COPD, lung cancer, coronary artery disease or stroke,\u00bb Forbes reported. \u00abThe more they smoked in the study, the greater their chances of dying.\u00bb<\/p>\n According to a 12-year study of one million female smokers published on Saturday in the Lancet, women who quit smoking can add at least a decade to their lives.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Dejar el h\u00e1bito del tabaco antes de cumplir los 40 a\u00f1os de edad puede prolongar la esperanza de vida de las mujeres fumadoras hasta 10 a\u00f1os m\u00e1s, seg\u00fan datos de el estudio \u201cMillion Women\u201d realizado en Gran Breta\u00f1a y publicado en la revista m\u00e9dica The Lancet.

\nWomen who quit smoking before age 40 reduce their risk of dying by nearly 90 percent; those who quit before age 30 can remove up to 97 percent of the risk of premature death, according to researchers from Oxford University.<\/p>\n
