POPSA Few Whiffs of Smoke May Harm Your Heart The new study provides further evidence that just being near someone who smokes (secondhand smoke) significantly increases your risk for heart attacks and strokes. Breathing in levels of smoke far less than what equals one cigarette a day increases your risk of cardiovascular disease by about 20% to 30%, compared to people who are not exposed, the researchers found. They say that even low levels of smoke can prompt dangerous biological changes -- such as inflammation and increased platelet activity -- which make heart attacks more likely. Researchers noted the steepest increase in risk in those who had relatively low levels of smoke exposure. In other words, breathing in even small amounts of smoke can have profoundly deleterious effects on health. But those exposed to low levels are not the only ones that should worry -- the risk increases further the more smoke one inhales.

They recorded details of body mass index, family history, physical activity, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and diabetes were recorded. They then matched the data against healthy individuals as a scientific control. Rather then using conventional methods for analysing statistics, the researchers borrowed an approach from the computer science field of artificial intelligence, OLAP. Online analytical processing was developed in the early 1990s and was exploited primarily in industrial and commercial applications, for financial and marketing analysis. Fundamentally, OLAP provides a multidimensional view of data that allows patterns to be discerned in even the largest datasets that remain invisible even to the most expert user of spreadsheets. In a standard model, sales, purchases, pricing, customer base, and other economic measurements are used, Kostakis' colleagues at the University of Patras have adapted this system instead to accommodate the risk factors of heart disease.
