Abstract

The authors examined the effect of smokeless tobacco use on the athletic performance of major league baseball players during the 1988 season. They evaluated performance records of 158 players on seven major league teams who played or pitched at least 10 games or innings during the 1988 season. ST use, they concluded, is not related to player performance in major league baseball but does place players at significantly increased risk for mucosal lesions and other oral pathology.

摘要

作者们研究了无烟烟草的使用对1988赛季美国职业棒球大联盟球员运动表现的影响。他们评估了七支大联盟球队中158名球员的表现记录，这些球员在1988赛季至少参加了10场比赛或投了10局。他们得出结论，无烟烟草的使用与美国职业棒球大联盟球员的表现无关，但确实会使球员患黏膜病变和其他口腔疾病的风险显著增加。
