We examined longitudinal changes in smoking behavior among older adults in three community cohorts of the Established Populations for Epidemiologic Studies of the Elderly. Smoking prevalence declined from 15% at baseline to 9% during 6 years of follow-up. Annual smoking cessation and relapse rates were 10% and less than 1%, respectively. Interval diagnosis of myocardial infarction, stroke, or cancer increased subsequent smoking cessation but not relapse. Although smoking cessation around diagnosis is increased, primary prevention could yield greater benefits.
我们在老年流行病学研究的三个社区队列中，对老年人的吸烟行为进行了纵向研究。吸烟率从基线时的15%下降到随访6年期间的9%。年戒烟率和复吸率分别为10%和不到1%。心肌梗死、中风或癌症的间隔诊断增加了随后的戒烟率，但未增加复吸率。尽管诊断前后的戒烟率有所提高，但一级预防可能会带来更大的益处。
