Associations between snus use and concentrations of CRP, 25(OH)D and testosterone: a population-based study
) 1.04, 95% CI 1.01; 1.07). Former snus users had no significant differences in biomarker concentrations. Snus users have lower concentrations of 25(OH)D and hs-CRP, irrespective of sex, while male users have higher cfT-concentrations. These findings may in part contribute to the previously observed increased mortality among snus users.
