Chronic peripheral inflammation (CPI) has been associated with cognitive
impairment in schizophrenia (SZ). However, its sources remain unclear, more
specifically it is not known whether tobacco smoking is a source of inflammation
or not in SZ subjects. Moreover, nicotine (NIC), the major psychoactive compound
of tobacco, shows strong anti-inflammatory properties in vitro, as well as
inducing a severe biological dependence when administered repeatedly. The
objective of the present study was to determine if CPI was associated with
tobacco smoking and/or NIC dependence in schizophrenia. Three hundred and forty
five stabilized community-dwelling SZ subjects aged 16 years or older (mean
age = 32 years, 73% male) were consecutively included in the network of the
FondaMental Expert Centers for Schizophrenia and assessed with validated scales.
CPI was defined by a highly sensitive C-reactive protein (hsCRP) ≥3 mg/L.
Current tobacco status was self-declared. Severe NIC dependence was defined by a
Fagerstrom Test for Nicotine Dependence score ≥7. Overall, 159 (46.1%) were
non-smokers, 117 (33.9%) and 69 (20%) were current tobacco smokers with,
respectively, low and severe nicotine dependence. In a multivariate model, CPI
remained associated with severe NIC dependence (29 vs 15%, OR = 2.8, p = 0.003)
and body mass index (OR = 1.1, p  0.05). CPI was
associated with severe NIC dependence but not with tobacco smoking with low to
moderate NIC dependence in SZ, independently of socio-demographic variables,
body mass index, alcohol consumption and antidepressant intake. This result
highlights the potential CPI consequences of the high prevalence of heavy
tobacco smoking in SZ, indicating the importance of new therapeutic strategies
for tobacco cessation in SZ.
