CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oxford University researchers today presented data that reveal the extent to which smoking causes silent but deadly damage to health at the annual scientific meeting of the American Heart Association (AHA).
Working with Life Line Screening’s database of several million US adults, Oxford researchers looked at people without symptoms who attended the company’s screening service. The researchers found that smokers were 12 times more likely than non-smokers to develop an abdominal aortic aneurysm, which can burst leading to sudden death.
