Research Abstract |
The improvement of oxidative stress by smoking cessation has been previously reported, mainly in intervention studies among healthy subjects. The current study evaluate the level of oxidative stress among subjects in smoking cessation clinics. The change in oxidative stress was evaluated according to the traits of subjects including age, sex, level of physical activity, alcohol intake, coffee consumption and BMI. Each trait of subjects varied in considerable degree. Several traits was associated with the change in the level of oxidative stress, and the results were in accordance with the previous studies. Several traits acted as effect modifiers for the change of oxidative stress in the process of smoking cessation.
