Abstract Objectives This study examined the association between tobacco smoke exposure (TSE) and temperament among children 0–5 years old overall and within age groups: 0–2 and 3–5 years. Methods Data were obtained from the 2017–2018 NSCH (N = 14,345). TSE status was defined as whether children lived with a smoker who: does not smoke inside the home (no home TSE) or smokes inside the home (home TSE). We conducted logistic regression analyses while controlling for covariates. Results Overall, 12.5% of children lived with a smoker with no home TSE and 1.1% had home TSE. Children with home TSE were at increased odds to not always: be affectionate and tender (aOR = 1.74, 95% CI = 1.18–2.58), show interest and curiosity (aOR = 1.81, 95% CI = 1.23–2.68), and smile and laugh (aOR = 1.77, 95% CI = 1.13–2.77) than those with no TSE. Among 0- to 2-year-olds, those with home TSE were more likely to not always be affectionate and tender (aOR = 1.97, 95% CI = 1.04–3.74). Among 3- to 5-year-olds, those who lived with a smoker with no home TSE were more likely to not always: bounce back quickly (aOR = 1.21, 95% CI = 1.05–1.40) and smile and laugh (aOR = 1.26, 95% CI = 1.03–1.54), and those with home TSE were more likely to not always: show interest and curiosity (aOR = 2.24, 95% CI = 1.40–3.59) and smile and laugh (aOR = 2.43, 95% CI = 1.43–4.11). Conclusions Tobacco smoke-exposed children were at increased odds of not always demonstrating positive early childhood temperament behaviors, with 3- to 5-year-olds having more pronounced odds.

Abstract Background Depression is a psychological dysfunction that impairs health and quality of life. However, whether environmental tobacco smoke exposure (ETSE) is associated with depression is poorly understood. This study was designed to evaluate the association of ETSE with depression among non-smoking adults in the United States. Method Using the 2015–2016 United States National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), we identified 2623 adults (females – 64.2%, males – 35.8%) who had never smoked and applied multivariable adjusted-logistic regression to determine the adjusted odds ratio (aOR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) at P < 0.05 for the association of ETSE with depression adjusting for relevant confounders. Results Mean age of respondents was 46.5 ± 17.9 years, 23.5% reported ETSE, and 4.7% reported depression. Also, aORs for the association of ETSE with depression were 1.992 (1.987, 1.997) among females and 0.674 (0.670, 0.677) among males. When we examined the association by age groups, the aORs were 1.792 (1.787, 1.796) among young adults (< 60 years) and 1.146 (1.140, 1.152) among older adults (≥60 years). Conclusions We found that ETSE was associated with higher odds of depression among females but not among males.

Risk monitoring in childhood is useful to estimate harmful health effects at later stages of life. Thus, here we have assessed the effects of tobacco smoke exposure and environmental pollution on the respiratory health of Italian children and adolescents using spirometry and the forced oscillation technique (FOT). For this purpose, we recruited 188 students aged 6–19 years living in Chivasso, Italy, and collected from them the following data: (1) one filled out questionnaire; (2) two respiratory measurements (i.e., spirometry and FOT); and (3) two urine tests for Cotinine (Cot) and 15-F2t-Isoprostane (15-F2t-IsoP) levels. We found a V-shape distribution for both Cotinine and 15-F2t-IsoP values, according to age groups, as well as a direct correlation (p = 0.000) between Cotinine and tobacco smoke exposure. These models demonstrate that tobacco smoke exposure, traffic, and the living environment play a fundamental role in the modulation of asthma-like symptoms (p = 0.020) and respiratory function (p = 0.007). Furthermore, the results from the 11–15-year group indicate that the growth process is a protective factor against the risk of respiratory disease later in life. Lastly, the FOT findings highlight the detrimental effects of tobacco smoke exposure and urbanization and traffic on respiratory health and asthma-like symptoms, respectively. Overall, monitoring environmental and behavioral factors in childhood can provide valuable information for preventing respiratory diseases in adulthood.

Urinary Cotinine

Introduction A majority of studies on tobacco smoke exposure and sleep quality have relied on self-reported smoking, resulting in potential exposure misclassification and biases related to self-report. The objective of this study was to investigate associations between urinary cotinine, a biological marker of tobacco smoke exposure, and sleep quality measures, including sleep duration, sleep continuity or efficiency, sleep satisfaction and alertness during normal waking hours. Methods Using data on a national sample of 10 806 adults (aged 18–79 years) from the Canadian Health Measures Survey (2007–2013), we performed binary logistic regression analyses to estimate associations between urinary cotinine concentrations and sleep quality measures, while controlling for potential confounders. Additionally, we performed ordinal logistic regression to assess the association between urinary cotinine concentrations and increased number of sleep problems. Results Overall, 28.7% of adult Canadian survey respondents had urinary cotinine concentrations above the limit of detection (LOD), and the prevalence of each sleep problem ranged from 5.5% to 35.6%. Elevated urinary cotinine concentrations (quartile 4 vs. $lt;LOD) were associated with significantly higher odds of short or long sleep duration (OR = 1.41; 95% CI: 1.02–1.95; p-trend = .021), trouble falling or staying asleep (OR = 1.71; 95% CI: 1.28–2.27; p-trend = .003), sleep dissatisfaction (OR = 1.87; 95% CI: 1.21–2.89; p-trend = .011), and increased number of sleep problems (OR = 1.64; 95% CI: 1.19–2.26; p-trend = .001). Stronger associations were observed among females compared to males. Conclusion Using a biological marker of tobacco smoke exposure, our study contributes to the body of literature of toxic environmental exposures on sleep quality by supporting an association between tobacco smoke exposure and poorer sleep quality. To address the limitations of a cross-sectional study design and to better assess the temporality of tobacco smoke exposure and sleep quality, longitudinal studies are recommended.

Aim of our study was to investigate the effect of preand postnatal passive tobacco smoke exposure on the incidence of allergic sensitization. Patients and methods Specific sensitization to food, outdoor and indoor allergens was determined in 342 children at the age of 1, 2 and 3 years. Parents were asked about their smoking habit at the birth of their children, at 18 months and 3 years of age. Results Multivariate regression analysis indicated, that during the first 3 years of life, preand postnatally exposed children had a significantly higher risk for sensitization to food allergens compared to children never exposed to tobacco smoke exposure on specific sensitization could bedemonstrated. Conclusion During early childhood both preand postnatal tobacco smoke exposure has an adjuvant effect on allergic sensitization to food allergens.
