ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Studying the effects of smoking intensity is important to evaluate the risk of tobacco use on a range of illnesses, such as sarcopenia among the elderly. Thus, this study aimed to analyze the effects of pack-years of cigarette smoking on the diaphragm muscle (DIAm) histopathology of postmortem samples.METHODS:
Subjects were divided into three groups never-smoker (n = 46); less than 30 pack-years of smoking (n = 12); and more than 30 pack-years of smoking (n = 30). Diaphragm samples were stained with Picrosirius red and hematoxylin and eosin stain for general structure.RESULTS:
Participants with more than 30 pack-years of cigarette smoking had a significant increase in adipocytes, blood vessels and collagen deposit, as well as an increase in histopathological alterations.CONCLUSIONS:
Pack-years of smoking was associated with DIAm injury. However, further clinicopathological studies are needed to confirm our findings.
