description Objective The aim of the study is to examine the relationship between secondhand smoke (SHS) and angina using the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey database over a 12-year period. Methods Self-reported smoking status and cotinine levels were used to identify exposure groups (smokers, nonsmokers, and secondhand smokers), and medical history of angina was also collected via a self-report survey. The association between exposure to SHS and angina was analyzed using odd ratios with 95% confidence intervals calculated using two logistic regression models. Results The study found that when aggregating data from all 12 years, secondhand smokers are 42.9% significantly more likely to report having experienced angina, while smokers were 97.7% significantly more likely to report having angina compared with nonsmokers. Conclusions This study is the first of its kind to examine data from a national database over a 12-year period to determine an association between SHS and angina outcomes, thus highlighting the importance of reducing SHS exposure to improve cardiovascular health.
