| Abstract | ||
| This study investigated the relationship between cigarette smoking and heamoglobin concentrations, red blood cell counts, white blood cell counts, cholesterol, glucose, and total protein levels in comparison with age. The study included 107 men from college of science at Basrah university (52) smokers and (55) nonsmokers aged 20-50 years old .The results showed that heamoglobin concentrations was greater in smokers group over 40 years old compared with non smokers group for the same age, the same results have seen in smokers group over 20 years old compared with nonsmokers group for the same age, but no significant effect on smokers group over 30 years old compared with nonsmokers for the same age .Red blood cell counts was significantly abnormal lower in 20-50 years of age smokers group compared with the same ages of nonsmokers.White blood cell counts was significantly abnormal higher in 30-50 years of age in smokers group compared with nonsmokers group for the same age, there was a high significant difference(p>0.05) in smokers group over 20 years old compared with control group of the same age. Cholesterol levels has no significant changes in both two groups for the same ages .Whereas glucose level showed no significant differences (p<0.05) in all experiment groups .Total protein showed high significant differences in smokers serum in groups of 20-50 years old compared with nonsmokers group for the same ages.Conclusion:The results conclude that the smoking altered the physiological functions and this alterations was more progress with advance in age | ||
