association between electronic cigarettes use and whole blood cell among adults in the USa-a cross-sectional study of National health and Nutrition Examination Survey analysis.

Introduction:
This text discusses a cross-sectional study examining the association between electronic cigarette (E-cigarette) use and whole blood cell characteristics in the National health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NhaNES) dataset. The study focuses on demographic characteristics, smoking status, and whole blood cell variables, including white blood cell (WBC), red blood cell (RBC), and platelet counts. The researchers utilized multivariable logistic regression analyses to determine the associations between whole blood cell variables and E-cigarette smoking.

Key Points:

* The study used a nationally representative sample of US adults from the NhaNES dataset (2013-2018).
* Researchers examined whole blood cell variables and smoking status, categorizing participants into four groups: non-smoke, E-cigarettes, dual-smoke, and cigarette groups.
* The study showed that E-cigarette use is associated with increased WBC, lymphocyte, and monocyte counts, as well as altered RBC properties, compared to non-smokers.
* No significant differences were found in whole blood cell variables between E-cigarette users and traditional cigarette smokers.
* The study highlights the need for further research into the long-term consequences of E-cigarette use on cardiopulmonary function and regulation.

Main Message:
The main message of the study is that E-cigarette use might be associated with adverse effects on hematological parameters, including elevated WBC, lymphocyte, and monocyte counts, and altered RBC properties. The study suggests that E-cigarette users may have an increased risk of cardiopulmonary diseases compared to non-smokers. however, no significant differences were found between E-cigarette users and traditional cigarette smokers. Overall, the study underscores the importance of further research into the health impacts of E-cigarette use and the need for regulatory measures to mitigate potential risks.
