The study aimed to estimate smoking prevalence in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais State, Brazil, and related risk factors among adolescents. We used data from the household survey conducted by the Brazilian National Cancer Institute (2002-2003). The following variables were analyzed: demographic data; physical activity; smoking; and alcohol consumption. The study included information on 630 adolescents (15-24 years of age) living in Belo Horizonte. Multivariate logistic regression analyses were carried out, with hierarchical entry of variables into the model and the generalized estimating equation (GEE) method. Overall smoking prevalence was 11.7%. The following factors were associated with smoking: alcohol consumption (OR = 20.6), older age (OR = 1.2), paternal smoking (OR = 4.0), sibling smoker (OR = 2.5), and best friend smoker (OR = 5.2). Smoking prevalence among adolescents was high, increasing with age and alcohol consumption.
该研究旨在估计巴西米纳斯吉拉斯州贝洛奥里藏特市青少年的吸烟率及相关风险因素。我们使用了巴西国家癌症研究所进行的家庭调查（2002 - 2003年）的数据。分析了以下变量：人口统计学数据、体育活动、吸烟情况和饮酒情况。该研究纳入了居住在贝洛奥里藏特市的630名青少年（15 - 24岁）的信息。进行了多变量逻辑回归分析，采用变量分层进入模型和广义估计方程（GEE）方法。总体吸烟率为11.7%。以下因素与吸烟相关：饮酒（比值比[OR]=20.6）、年龄较大（OR = 1.2）、父亲吸烟（OR = 4.0）、兄弟姐妹吸烟（OR = 2.5）以及最好的朋友吸烟（OR = 5.2）。青少年吸烟率较高，且随年龄和饮酒量增加而上升。
