The purpose of this research was to examine whether waterpipe smokers experience increased risk of motor vehicle crashes.
In a telephone survey, a random sample of Iranian drivers were asked to report their age, gender, vehicle age, whether their vehicles were equipped with anti-lock braking system (ABS), average daily drive time (DDT), whether they smoked cigarette or waterpipe, whether they had diabetes mellitus (DM), number of traffic crashes during the last calendar year and whether the crash involved a pedestrian or another vehicle.
A total of 2070 motor vehicle owners with the mean age of 41.6 ± 11.45 were interviewed. The annual incidence of Road Traffic Crashes (RTC) was 14.9%; 14.0% involved a collision/s with other vehicles and 0.9% with pedestrians. There was an association between the RTC and male gender, DDT, being a cigarette smoker, being a waterpipe smoker and DM in univariable analysis. The association between RTC and being a waterpipe smoker and also cigarette smoker was significant in multivariable analysis after adjustment for DDT.
Being waterpipe and/or cigarette smoker and DDT were the independent predictors of the number of traffic crashes in Poisson regression model. If the increased risk of RTC among waterpipe or cigarette smokers is seen in other studies, it would be beneficial to promote tobacco cessation and control strategies through injury prevention initiatives.
本研究旨在探讨水烟吸食者是否有更高的机动车事故风险。
在一项电话调查中，随机抽取了伊朗司机样本，要求他们报告年龄、性别、车辆年龄、车辆是否配备防抱死制动系统 (ABS)、平均每日驾驶时间 (DDT)、是否吸烟斗或香烟、是否患有糖尿病 (DM)、上一年的交通事故次数以及事故是否涉及行人或其他车辆。
共采访了 2070 名拥有平均年龄 41.6 ± 11.45 岁的机动车车主。道路交通碰撞 (RTC) 的年发生率为 14.9%；14.0%涉及与其他车辆的碰撞/事故，0.9%涉及与行人的碰撞/事故。在单变量分析中，RTC 与男性、DDT、吸烟斗、吸烟和 DM 之间存在关联。在多变量分析中，调整 DDT 后，RTC 与水烟和香烟吸烟者之间的关联具有统计学意义。
水烟和/或香烟吸烟以及 DDT 是泊松回归模型中交通事故数量的独立预测因子。如果其他研究也发现水烟或香烟吸烟者发生 RTC 的风险增加，那么通过伤害预防计划来促进戒烟和控制策略将是有益的。
