Weight Gain and 10-Year Cardiovascular Risk With Sustained Tobacco Abstinence in Smokers With Serious Mental Illness: A Subgroup Analysis of a Randomized Trial

摘要

Objective: People with serious mental illness die earlier than those without mental illness, largely from cardiovascular disease due to high rates of smoking and obesity. The objective of this study was to determine whether the metabolic effects of postcessation weight gain among smokers with serious mental illness attenuated the cardiovascular benefit of tobacco abstinence.
