Abstract

A cross-sectional interview survey of tobacco use was conducted in Alexandria, Egypt, comparing current smokers with never smokers. Among men, the risk of current tobacco use was significantly higher among married participants (OR = 1.74), especially those with low educational or occupational status. In contrast, although few women smoked, tobacco use was significantly higher among those holding a university degree (OR = 15.33). Never smokers were significantly more knowledgeable than current smokers about tobacco-related health hazards. Never smokers had significantly better perceptions of the danger of tobacco use, susceptibility to health-related hazards and the benefits of being tobacco-free. Multivariate analysis revealed that tobacco use is independently predicted by participants' sex, age and educational attainment as well as their perceptions.

摘要

在埃及亚历山大进行了一项关于烟草使用的横断面访谈调查，比较了当前吸烟者和从不吸烟者。在男性中，已婚参与者当前使用烟草的风险显著更高（比值比=1.74），尤其是那些教育程度或职业地位较低的人。相比之下，虽然很少有女性吸烟，但拥有大学学位的女性中烟草使用显著更高（比值比=15.33）。从不吸烟者比当前吸烟者对烟草相关健康危害的了解明显更多。从不吸烟者对烟草使用的危害、对健康相关危害的易感性以及无烟的益处有明显更好的认知。多变量分析显示，烟草使用由参与者的性别、年龄、教育程度以及他们的认知独立预测。
