20 34–36 After preliminary analysis, 34 we included the following variables in the multiple imputation models: age in years, gender and IMD quintile, 31 health indicators: smoking status (three categories, non-smoker, ex-smoker and current smoker), height, weight, systolic and diastolic blood pressures and disease indicators: type II diabetes, CHD and cerebrovascular accident.
Based on theoretical models of the effect of smoking on mucociliary clearance, the percentage of functional cilia would decrease approximately 18 to 38% in smokers based on cilia height alone.
49 adults presenting tobacco-tars staining on fingers were matched to 49 control smokers by age, gender, height and pack-year (PY).
The page has a number of spaces to be filled in with information, including the patient's age, sex, weight, height, whether a smoker, as well as previous clinical history, other medications taken and seven genetic characteristics.
Using specific software (version 6.1), these variables, as well as body weight, height, handedness and smoking status (smoker or non-smoker), were used to estimate energy expenditure (EE).
They were identified by using the residuals from a regression model of annual weight change on baseline values of age, weight and height, smoking status (current/former/never smokers), and follow-up time.
We also enrolled 25 asymptomatic healthy never-smokers who matched the age and height (CONTROLS) of those who underwent the annual health check.
Similarly the FE NO among non-smokers is 69% larger than among smokers and it increases by 2.6% by centimetre height and by 4% by %FEV1/FVC.
The following characteristics were recorded for each subject: age, sex, body height and weight, history of diabetes mellitus, smoking habits (smokers, ex-smokers, non-smokers), concomitant medical treatment, peripheral oedema or ascites, confirmed by physical examination or recent imaging examination and aetiology of cirrhosis.
We calculated HRs for height in current and never smokers in not smoking-related and smoking-related cancers.
The first subject was a 22-year-old medical student (weight: 65.3 kg, height: 1.82 m) and occasional cannabis smoker (about once per week).
