The aim of this study was to assess smoking and alcohol use in Romanian dental and medical students.
A total of 185 questionnaires were distributed to male and female dental and medical students (first and sixth year).
Across all groups, 60.86% of the responders have never been smokers, while the prevalence of smoking among the different groups was 28.84% for Year 1 dental students, 53.18% for Year 6 dental students, 39.58% for Year 1 medical students and 36.36% for Year 6 medical students. Unadjusted linear regressions showed significant linear relationships between average number of cigarettes smoked a day and average age when students started smoking (p < 0.05). Of Year 6 dental students, 41.30% have drunk at least once a week, compared with 24% of dental freshmen. The use of alcohol among males was significantly higher than in females (p < 0.0001). Unadjusted linear regressions showed significant linear relationships between frequency of smoking and alcohol consumption (p < 0.05).
Both medical and dental students in Romania may benefit from preventive interventions in universities addressing the health risk behaviours of alcohol use and smoking.
本研究旨在评估罗马尼亚牙科和医学专业学生的吸烟及饮酒情况。
共向牙科和医学专业的男女生（一年级和六年级）发放了185份问卷。
在所有组中，60.86%的应答者从不吸烟，而不同组中的吸烟率分别为：牙科一年级学生28.84%，牙科六年级学生53.18%，医学一年级学生39.58%，医学六年级学生36.36%。未调整的线性回归显示，学生开始吸烟时每天的平均吸烟量与平均年龄之间存在显著的线性关系（p < 0.05）。在牙科六年级学生中，41.30%的学生每周至少饮酒一次，而牙科新生中这一比例为24%。男性的饮酒率显著高于女性（p < 0.0001）。未调整的线性回归显示，吸烟频率与饮酒量之间存在显著的线性关系（p < 0.05）。
罗马尼亚的医科和牙科学生都可能受益于大学开展的针对饮酒和吸烟等健康风险行为的预防性干预措施。
