The association between CVD and chewing of tobacco is limited and remains arguable. The aim of this study was to find out the correlation between urinary cotinine level and cardiovascular autonomic function tests of tobacco chewers. Methods: In the present study, 600 participants, 300 smokeless tobacco chewers (STC) and 300 non-tobacco chewers (NTC), between 18 and 65 yr were selected. Various parameters such as anthropometric, systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), autonomic function tests and urinary cotinine levels were measured.
