A recent study conducted by doctoral student Adriana Eugene and Distinguished Professor Luisa N. Borrell has shed light on the potential health risks associated with electronic cigarette use among older adults. The study, published in the journal Preventive Medicine, found that older adults who use e-cigarettes are more likely to report respiratory illnesses such as asthma, chronic bronchitis, and COPD.

Using data from the Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health study, Eugene and Borrell examined the relationship between e-cigarette use and various respiratory conditions. They also considered factors such as age, gender, and use of other tobacco products to determine the impact of e-cigarette use on respiratory health.

The findings revealed that adults in the United States who reported ever using e-cigarettes had 1.32 times greater odds of experiencing respiratory illness compared to those who had never used them. Furthermore, the study showed that older adults and individuals who used other tobacco products were at a higher risk of respiratory illness compared to younger adults and non-users of other tobacco products.

The researchers also noted a significant joint effect of age and e-cigarette use on respiratory illness, indicating that the relationship between e-cigarette use and respiratory health varies across different age groups. Eugene emphasized the importance of targeting high-risk groups for respiratory illness when implementing interventions or policies to reduce e-cigarette use.

In conclusion, the study highlights the potential health implications of e-cigarette use, particularly for older adults. The researchers suggest that more focused efforts are needed to address the risks associated with e-cigarette use among vulnerable populations. More research is warranted to further investigate the long-term effects of e-cigarette use on respiratory health.

For more information on the study, you can refer to the article “E-cigarette use and respiratory illnesses among U.S. adults: An analysis of the Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health Study” published in Preventive Medicine. The DOI for the article is 10.1016/j.ypmed.2024.108118.

This study was conducted by The City University of New York and underscores the importance of understanding the potential risks associated with e-cigarette use, especially among older adults. It is crucial to continue researching and raising awareness about the impact of e-cigarettes on respiratory health to protect public health.
