A secondary analysis of Hispanic Health and Nutrition Examination Survey data was conducted to determine the prevalence and degree of cigarette smoking among large probability samples of Cuban-American, Mexican-American, and Puerto Rican women of childbearing age. Percentages, means, and 95% confidence intervals were used to determine age-adjusted and age-specific rates for each Hispanic group. Age-adjusted smoking prevalence rates were 23.2%, 22.6%, and 33.5% for Mexican-Americans, Cuban-Americans, and Puerto Ricans, respectively. Age-specific rates indicated that all Puerto Rican women under the age of 40, Mexican-American women in their 40's, and Cuban-American women in their 30's had smoking prevalences higher than the national average for women. Although most Hispanic women were relatively light smokers, prevention and cessation interventions need to be developed for Puerto Rican women of childbearing age who demonstrated high smoking prevalences.
对西班牙裔健康与营养检查调查数据进行了二次分析，以确定古巴裔、墨西哥裔和波多黎各裔育龄妇女大概率样本中的吸烟率和吸烟程度。使用百分比、均值和95%置信区间来确定每个西班牙裔群体的年龄调整率和特定年龄率。墨西哥裔、古巴裔和波多黎各裔的年龄调整吸烟率分别为23.2%、22.6%和33.5%。特定年龄率表明，所有40岁以下的波多黎各妇女、40多岁的墨西哥裔妇女和30多岁的古巴裔妇女的吸烟率高于全国女性平均水平。尽管大多数西班牙裔女性吸烟量相对较少，但对于吸烟率较高的育龄波多黎各妇女，仍需制定预防和戒烟干预措施。
