The aim of this investigation was to evaluate the incremental validity of anxiety sensitivity (fear of arousal-related physical and psychological sensations) relative to health factors (smoking variables, alcohol use and exercise level), in predicting perceived health and disability among a sample of 225 young adult daily smokers (102 females; M(age) = 23.9 years, SD = 8.8). Consistent with prediction, anxiety sensitivity, relative to smoking-relevant variables, alcohol consumption (a single frequency by quantity composite) and exercise activity, predicted lower perceived general health and impairments in mental health and social functioning; no incremental effects were evident for anxiety sensitivity for predicting impairments in physical functioning, role functioning, or increased healthcare usage. These findings are discussed with respect to better understanding cognitive factors that affect perceptions of health status and functioning among daily smokers.
本研究的目的是评估焦虑敏感性（对与唤醒相关的身体和心理感觉的恐惧）相对于健康因素（吸烟变量、饮酒情况和运动水平）在预测225名年轻成年每日吸烟者（102名女性；年龄均值M = 23.9岁，标准差SD = 8.8）的自我感知健康和残疾状况方面的增量效度。与预测一致，相对于与吸烟相关的变量、饮酒量（单一频率乘以数量的综合指标）和运动活动，焦虑敏感性预测了较低的自我感知总体健康状况以及心理健康和社会功能方面的损害；焦虑敏感性在预测身体功能、角色功能损害或医疗保健使用增加方面没有明显的增量效应。针对更好地理解影响每日吸烟者健康状况和功能认知的因素对这些发现进行了讨论。
