To examine the key socio-demographic characteristics of adult smokers in New Zealand based on 1996 census data.
Data were obtained from the 1996 Census of Populations and Dwellings on smoking status and key socio-demographic variables. Age standardised smoking prevalence rates were calculated.
Of the New Zealand population aged 15 years and over, 23.7% reported that they were regular smokers. Maori have the highest smoking prevalence in New Zealand (40.5%) and the peak rate is 55% among young Maori women aged 25-29 years. Pacific Island people, particularly males, have higher smoking rates than Europeans, while among Asians, the rate for males is three to four times the rate for females. People with no qualifications, who are unemployed or earning less than $30,000 per year, and women with high parities also have relatively high smoking prevalence rates.
The smoking rates of New Zealand population groups are highly heterogeneous and there is substantial scope for focusing tobacco control interventions on those groups with the highest prevalence.
基于1996年人口普查数据,研究新西兰成年吸烟者的关键社会人口学特征。
从1996年人口与住房普查中获取关于吸烟状况和关键社会人口学变量的数据。计算年龄标准化吸烟患病率。
在新西兰15岁及以上人口中,23.7%的人报告称他们是经常吸烟者。毛利人在新西兰的吸烟患病率最高(40.5%),25 - 29岁的年轻毛利女性中吸烟率峰值为55%。太平洋岛民,尤其是男性,吸烟率高于欧洲人,而在亚洲人中,男性吸烟率是女性的三到四倍。没有学历、失业或年收入低于30000美元的人,以及多子女的女性吸烟患病率也相对较高。
新西兰不同人群的吸烟率差异很大,将烟草控制干预措施重点放在患病率最高的人群上有很大空间。
