Özet

Introduction: Smoking leads to more respiratory symptoms and negative effects on the health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in women than men for the same smoking burden. However, the relationship between smoking and body composition and its influencing factors remains unclear. In this study, we aim to investigate the effects of smoking on body composition, pulmonary function, physical activity and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) among healthy women.
