Biochemical Data and Metabolic Profiles of Male Exclusive Narghile Smokers (ENSs) Compared With Apparently Healthy Nonsmokers (AHNSs).

ABSTRACT: Studies evaluating the metabolic profiles of ENSs are scarce and presented controversial conclusions. This study aimed to compare the metabolic profiles of ENSs' and AHNSs' groups. Males aged 25-45 years and free from a known history of metabolic and/or cardiovascular diseases were included. According to the smoking status, two groups of ENSs and AHNSs were identified. Body mass index (BMI, kg/m²), waist circumference (WC, cm), systolic and diastolic blood pressures (SBP, DBP, mmHg), fasting blood data in mmol/L (blood glycemia [FBG], triglycerides [TG], total cholesterol [TC], high- and low- density lipoprotein cholesterol [HDL-C, LDL-C]) and obesity status were evaluated. The metabolic syndrome (MetS) was defined according to the 2006 International Diabetes Federation (IDF) re
