Association of passive smoking with cognitive impairment in older adults is unclear. We carried out a systematic literature review and a new study to determine the association. There were 3 cross-sectional studies published, showing a significant association of passive smoking with cognitive impairment (a relative risk (RR) of about 1.30-1.90). In the new cohort study, we interviewed 1081 never-smoking participants aged ≥ 65 years in China using a standard method of the Geriatric Mental State…

Passive smoking as a risk factor for dementia and cognitive impairment: systematic review of observational studies

There is limited weak observational evidence linking passive smoking with an increased risk of cognitive impairment or dementia, however, the studies were methodologically diverse and of inconsistent quality, preventing firm conclusions.

Secondhand smoking and neurological disease: a meta-analysis of cohort studies

Secondhand smoking was found to be positively associated with risks of stroke and cognitive impairment, while inversely associated with risk of PD, and suggests that more researches on biological mechanisms whereby secondhand smoking affect PD may be beneficial to PD prevention and treatment.

Exposure to secondhand tobacco smoke and the frailty syndrome in US older adults
