According to the study, children exposed to the smoke of cigarettes smoked by their parents have an increased risk of developing rheumatoid arthritis (inflammatory rheumatism) in adulthood.
Experts from Akdeniz University and Hospital at southern Turkey, found a direct potential correlation between exposure to cigarette smoke smoked by parents in childhood and an increased risk of seropositive rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in decadent age.
As part of the study, 94,105 women aged 34 ages to 50 were used from data compiled from surveys conducted between 1990 and 2030.
Passive smoking was divided into 3 categories: smoking during pregnancy, smoking by parents in childhood and years spent with smokers from the age of 18.

The research found that the likelihood of RA increased by 75 per cent in those exposed to the smoke of cigarettes that parents smoked as children.
“Our findings add more depth and importance to the negative health effects of smoking in relation to RA, one of the most common autoimmune diseases,” said expert at University of Akdeniz Department of Rheumatology, inflammation and Immunity, Turkey.
