Passive smoking and 20-year cardiovascular disease mortality among nonsmoking wives, Evans County, Georgia.

C Humble, J Croft, A Gerber, M Casper, C G Hames and H A Tyroler

Department of Epidemiology, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill 27599.

The association of passive smoking and cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality was assessed in a cohort of 513 rural, married Black and White women who were disease-free and self-described as never-smokers at baseline in 1960. Over a 20-year period, 76 of 147 total deaths were attributed to CVD. Relative risk estimates adjusted for age, cholesterol, blood pressure, and body mass from proportional hazards models were 1.59 for CVD (95% CI = 0.99, 2.57) and 1.39 (CI = 0.99, 1.94) for all cause mortality among women with husbands who smoked cigarettes.
