Nicotine Dependence (FTND) was administered to a sample of 749 adult smokers. The Heavy Smoking Index (HSI) which combines two items of the FTND (the number of cigarettes per day and the time of the first cigarette of the day) was compared to the FTND. A cut-off score equal or greater than 4 on the HSI detected a similar rate of nicotine dependence as a cut-off score equal or greater than 6 on the FTND. HSI had good sensitivity (79.5%) and specificity (96.5%). The concordance between the two instruments was high (Cohen's kappa=0.74). The HSI performed as well on men as on women. The HSI provides a good measure of high nicotine dependence, particularly appropriate for epidemiological surveys.
对749名成年吸烟者样本进行了尼古丁依赖（FTND）测试。将结合了FTND的两项指标（每日吸烟支数和每日第一支烟的时间）的重度吸烟指数（HSI）与FTND进行比较。HSI得分等于或大于4时检测出的尼古丁依赖率与FTND得分等于或大于6时相似。HSI具有良好的敏感性（79.5%）和特异性（96.5%）。两种工具之间的一致性很高（科恩kappa系数=0.74）。HSI在男性和女性中的表现相同。HSI为高尼古丁依赖提供了一个很好的衡量标准，特别适用于流行病学调查。
