Snus and Cardiometabolic Health Markers Among Swedish Young Adults
We found cross-sectional associations between snus use and measures of increased adiposity in a cohort of Swedish young adults, including BMI and WC among women and BMI among heavy snus-using men. We did not find associations between snus use and body fat %, glycemic status, or blood pressure. This is one of few studies to investigate the health effect of snus among both women and men as well as cardiometabolic health markers in young adults. Given the recent trends of increased snus use among young adults, our findings highlight the need for further research on snus on cardiometabolic health.
