Abstract
Background
Growing evidence highlights the impact of e-cigarette use on cardiovascular health, prompting a crucial examination of its association with cardiovascular disease (CVD) in both exclusive e-cigarette and dual use scenarios with combustible cigarettes. This meta-analysis assessed the association between e-cigarette use and CVD by synthesizing the existing literature.
Methods
Pertinent observational studies were identified using multiple electronic databases, from August 22nd, 2006, to April 10th, 2024. A meta-analysis was conducted using random-effect models. Risk of bias was assessed using the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Study Quality Assessment Tools.
Findings: A total of 20 observational studies involving 8,499,444 participants were included in the meta-analysis. Dual use (e-cigarettes and combustible cigarette) increased the odds of CVD by 2.56 times (95 % CI: 2.11, 3.11) compared to never use of both. Current e-cigarette use combined with former combustible cigarette increased the odds of CVD by 2.02 times (95 % CI: 1.58, 2.58) compared to never use of either. Exclusive current e-cigarette use did not show a statistically significant association with CVD odds compared to never use of either (OR = 1.24, 95 % CI: 0.93, 1.67).
Conclusions
Dual use of e-cigarettes and combustible cigarettes was significantly associated with CVD, but results failed to show a significant association between exclusive e-cigarette use and CVD. Robust and longitudinal studies are needed to understand the long-term implications of e-cigarette use and CVD. Public health efforts should focus on awareness, smoking cessation, and regulating both e-cigarettes and combustible cigarettes.
期刊介绍:
Addictive Behaviors is an international peer-reviewed journal publishing high quality human research on addictive behaviors and disorders since 1975. The journal accepts submissions of full-length papers and short communications on substance-related addictions such as the abuse of alcohol, drugs and nicotine, and behavioral addictions involving gambling and technology. We primarily publish behavioral and psychosocial research but our articles span the fields of psychology, sociology, psychiatry, epidemiology, social policy, medicine, pharmacology and neuroscience. While theoretical orientations are diverse, the emphasis of the journal is primarily empirical. That is, sound experimental design combined with valid, reliable assessment and evaluation procedures are a requisite for acceptance. However, innovative and empirically oriented case studies that might encourage new lines of inquiry are accepted as well. Studies that clearly contribute to current knowledge of etiology, prevention, social policy or treatment are given priority. Scholarly commentaries on topical issues, systematic reviews, and mini reviews are encouraged. We especially welcome multimedia papers that incorporate video or audio components to better display methodology or findings.
Studies can also be submitted to Addictive Behaviors? companion title, the open access journal Addictive Behaviors Reports, which has a particular interest in ''non-traditional'', innovative and empirically-oriented research such as negative/null data papers, replication studies, case reports on novel treatments, and cross-cultural research.
