“…In participants maintaining smoking abstinence for a month followed by behavioral and pharmacological therapy, relapse rates at 1-year follow up were higher among those with greater nicotine dependence [8] (measured with FTND). FTND also predicted the success of abstinence imposed by hospitalizations for cardiac problems [9,10] or pregnancy [11]. These findings suggest that nicotine dependence may be a tangible therapeutic metric and target for determining success in reduction of cigarette smoking or abstinence.…”

Nicotine dependence is a major predictor of relapse in people with Tobacco Use Disorder (TUD). Accordingly, therapies that reduce nicotine dependence may promote sustained abstinence from smoking. The insular cortex has been identified as a promising target in brain-based therapies for TUD, and has three major sub-regions (ventral anterior, dorsal anterior, and posterior) that serve distinct functional networks. How these subregions and associated networks contribute to nicotine dependence is not well understood, and therefore was the focus of this study. Sixty individuals (28 women; 18–45 years old), who smoked cigarettes daily, rated their level of nicotine dependence (on the Fagerström Test for Nicotine Dependence) and, after abstaining from smoking overnight (~12 h), underwent functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) in a resting state. A subset of these participants (N = 48) also completing a cue-induced craving task during fMRI. Correlations between nicotine dependence and resting-state functional connectivity (RSFC) and cue-induced activation of the major insular sub-regions were evaluated. Nicotine dependence was negatively correlated with connectivity of the left and right dorsal, and left ventral anterior insula with regions within the superior parietal lobule (SPL), including the left precuneus. No relationship between posterior insula connectivity and nicotine dependence was found. Cue-induced activation in the left dorsal anterior insula was positively associated with nicotine dependence and negatively associated with RSFC of the same region with SPL, suggesting that craving-related responsivity in this subregion was greater among participants who were more dependent. These results may inform therapeutic approaches, such as brain stimulation, which may elicit differential clinical outcomes (e.g., dependence, craving) depending on the insular subnetwork that is targeted.

“…As revealed, participants were more likely to quit smoking during the last ten years of the follow-up. In contrast, relatively few had started, something that could be attributed to campaigns to reduce smoking implemented in the country in the past years [ 24 ] or the aging of the cohort; dietary habits remained mainly unchanged, which is also supported by previous studies that have highlighted the stability of dietary habits, especially among middle-aged or older adults [ 25 ]; and physical activity levels slightly decreased, which can be explained by the aging of the studied sample, as it has been observed in other studies, too [ 17 , 19 ]; it is also notable that the prevalence of low (inadequate) physical activity was high, and similar in all examinations of the study’s participants. Notably, the studied lifestyle trajectories accounted for a considerable proportion of CVD incidence during the last 20 years, as the attributable risk was 30%.…”

The study aimed to assess the trajectories of lifestyle characteristics and their association with 20-year cardiovascular disease (CVD) incidence. In 2002, 3042 Greek adults (aged: 45 (12) years) free of CVD were enrolled. In 2022, the 20-year follow-up was performed on 2169 participants; of those, 1988 had complete data for CVD. The 20-year CVD incidence was 3600 cases/10,000 individuals; the man-to-woman ratio was 1.25, with the peak difference in the 35–45 age group (i.e., 2.1); however, a reversal of the trend was observed in the age-groups 55–65 and 65–75, with a resumption of an almost equal incidence in those >75 years. In multi-adjusted analysis, age, sex, abnormal waist circumference, hypercholesterolemia, hypertension, and diabetes were positively associated with 20-year CVD risk, explaining 56% of the excess CVD risk, whereas an additional 30% was attributed to lifestyle trajectories; being physically active throughout life-course and being close to the Mediterranean diet were protective, while continuous smoking was detrimental against CVD risk. Mediterranean diet adherence protected against CVD development even if not sustained, while quitting smoking or engaging in physical activities during the 20-year observation did not offer any significant protection. A life-course personalized approach that is cost-effective and long-term sustained is needed to prevent CVD burden.

“…A associação de sucesso na cessação de tabagismo com menor média do Teste de Fagerstrom também foi observada em outros estudos da literatura médica (Hyland et al, 2006;Zhou et al, 2009;Iliceto et al, 2013;Kale et al, 2015;Ikonomidis et al, 2022), incluindo duas revisões sistemáticas (Vangeli et al, 2011;Cengelli et al, 2012). O Teste de Fagerstrom tem sido usado na literatura médica para avaliar a dependência do cigarro.…”

Este trabalho é dedicado primeiramente a Deus, que me guia e protege constantemente, iluminando todos os meus passos. Dedico também a meus pais Enrique e Merci, que nunca mediram esforços para minha formação pessoal e profissional, sempre foram meus grandes incentivadores, fonte de amor e porto seguro. Ao meu marido André, meu companheiro que me apoiou em toda essa trajetória, sempre presente, me dando forças e ao mesmo tempo leveza, sempre me fazendo sorrir. A minha filha Carolina, que foi o melhor presente que ganhamos nesta caminhada, trazendo muito mais amor e alegrias para nossa família. Aos meus irmãos Marcos e Alexandre e suas famílias (Keila, Marissu, Lucas e Bruno) por sempre me apoiarem e serem exemplo de determinação, amor, trabalho e sucesso. AGRADECIMENTOS Agradeço ao meu orientador, Prof. Dr. Cláudio Mendes Pannuti, pela oportunidade de ser sua aluna, e no final de 2018 ter confiado em meu trabalho me aceitando como aluna especial no departamento de Periodontia. Bons mestres se mostram com exemplos, e sua vida e ações são verdadeiros exemplos a serem seguidos. Agradeço aos Prof. Dr. Cássio Carvalho e Prof. Dr. Rodrigo Nahas por todo ensinamento, apoio e incentivo para meu ingresso como aluna de pósgraduação.
