Assessment of Serum levels of Calcium, Phosphorous and Zinc Levels Amange Sudanese Cigarette Smokers in Gazira State

Abstract

Abstract Background: Across sectional study conducted in Khartoum state from October 2018 to May 2019. Aim to evaluate the effect of cigarette smoking on calcium, phosphorous and zinc level in Sudanese smokers. Materials and Methods: This study 100 subject were chosen for determination of plasma calcium, phosphorous and zinc level,50 were smokers and 50 apparently healthy non smoker servers as control group for compression. The plasma calcium and phosphorous were estimated by spectrophotometer while zinc was estimated by atomic absorption. Results: Analysis showed that three is significantly decrease in mean value of serum calcium in smokers when compared with control group with p value 0.000. There was significantly negative correlation between calcium level and smoking duration with ( P value 0.028 R value -0.310). Also the study showed phosphorous result was normal in smoker when compared with non smokers group with (p value0.992). Also the study showed significantly decrease on serum zinc level in smoker when compared to nonsmoker group with (p value 0.000) there was significantly negative correlation between zinc level on smokers and duration with (p value 0.000, R value -0.322) Conclusion: According to the result of this study the serum calcium and zinc were significantly decrease on cigarette smoker when compared to nonsmoker while serum phosphorous was insignificantly change on cigarette smoker when compared to nonsmokers. ‪
