AnnotationThe study did not confirm the hypothesis that there is an inverse relationship between smoking and cognitive impairment. Four-year mortality over the survey period did not differ significantly between those older smokers and non-smokers, but smokers died at a relatively younger age and were more likely to die of diseases associated with smoking.
