Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract Smoking is one of the single most important preventable risk factors for cancer and other adverse health outcomes 1,2 . Smoking cessation represents a key public health intervention with the potential to reduce its negative health outcomes 2–4 . While epidemiological, cross-sectional, and individual longitudinal ‘omic’ or biomarker studies have evaluated the impact of smoking cessation, no study to date has systematically profiled molecular and clinical changes in several organ systems or tissues longitudinally over the course of smoking cessation that could allow for more detailed assessment of response biomarkers and the identification of interindividual differences in the recovery of physiological functions. Here, we report the first human longitudinal multi-omic study of smoking cessation, evaluating 2,501 unique single or composite features from 1,094 longitudinal samples. Our comprehensive analysis, leveraging over half a million longitudinal data points, revealed a profound effect of smoking cessation on epigenetic biomarkers and microbiome features across multiple organ systems within 6 months of smoking cessation, alongside shifts in the immune and blood oxygenation system. Moreover, our multi-omic analysis provided unprecedented granularity that allows for identification of new cross-ome associations for mechanistic discovery. We anticipate that data and an interactive app from the Tyrol Lifestyle Atlas ( eutops.github.io/lifestyle-atlas ), comprising the current study and a parallel study arm evaluating the impact of diet on biomarkers of health and disease, will provide the basis for future discovery, biomarker benchmarking in their responsiveness to health-promoting interventions, and study of individualised response group, representing a major advance for personalised health monitoring using biomarkers.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
