Tobacco smoking as a factor of comorbid associations among residents of the Arctic zone of Western Siberia

Tobacco smoking leads to significant changes in the functioning of organs and systems, causing metabolic disorders and fluids in the body, the development of comorbid associated conditions and diseases. One of the violations is the delay of extracellular fluid, which is a factor in increasing body weight, increasing the risk of cardiovascular disease, burdening respiratory disease. We examined a total of 367 residents during research expeditions in the village of Krasnosel’kup, village of Tolka and Ratta of Krasnoselkupsky district in the summer. Of which men, 109 (29.7%) and women – 258 (70.3%), mean age of 47.8±13.5 years, with the purpose of studying the effects of smoking on indicators of extracellular fluids according to bioimpendancemetria on the unit of the complex KM-AR-01 in the configuration of the “Diamond-AIST” (body composition analyzer) v. 10.2. When carrying out bioimpendance measurements in residents of Krasnoselkupsky district with excess body weight (BMI=25.0-29.9) revealed that smoking volume of extracellular fluid was higher (U-730.0; p=0.04) than non-smokers. Fluid retention is one of the factors increasing body weight, the formation of comorbid associations of adverse health risk factors in smokers.
