We used the previously validated IMPACT coronary heart disease (CHD) mortality model to estimate the CHD deaths attributable to reductions in smoking prevalence following the introduction of the Massachusetts Tobacco Control Program (MTCP) in 1993. A 29% and 31% decline in smoking prevalence and CHD mortality rates occurred, respectively (from 1993 to 2003). A total of 425 fewer CHD deaths, which generated approximately 3365 extra life-years, were attributable to decreased smoking prevalence. With these results in mind, a comprehensive tobacco control program should be sustained and supported.
我们使用先前验证过的IMPACT冠心病(CHD)死亡率模型,来估计1993年马萨诸塞州烟草控制项目(MTCP)实施后,吸烟率下降所导致的冠心病死亡人数减少情况。从1993年到2003年,吸烟率和冠心病死亡率分别下降了29%和31%。吸烟率下降导致冠心病死亡人数总共减少了425例,这带来了约3365个额外的生命年。考虑到这些结果,应该持续并支持全面的烟草控制项目。
