A brief outline is given of alterations in the normal physiology caused by cigarette smoking, aging and taking combined oral contraceptive pills. There are similarities in some of these effects. Evidence is considered regarding the health risks of using the pill and the relationship of these risks to the age of the woman and her smoking habit. This evidence is derived from recent epidemiologic studies carried out in Britain on some aspects of morbidity and the death rates ascribable to the pill. The implications for prescribing clinicians are discussed and indications are given for reducing the overall risks to life and health for pill users.
简要概述了吸烟、衰老以及服用复方口服避孕药对正常生理机能造成的改变。其中一些影响存在相似之处。文中考量了有关服用避孕药的健康风险以及这些风险与女性年龄和吸烟习惯之间关系的证据。这些证据源自英国近期开展的一些关于发病率某些方面以及归因于避孕药的死亡率的流行病学研究。讨论了对开处方的临床医生的启示，并给出了降低避孕药使用者生命和健康总体风险的指征。
