The aim of this paper was to investigate the prevalence of smoking using selected anthropometric variables in a sample of hospitalized coronary heart disease (CHD) patients in Croatia (N = 1,298). A total of 444 subjects (34.6%) were non-smokers, 548 (42.6%) were smokers and 293 (22.8%) were ex-smokers. Men, on average, smoked more cigarettes per day than women (22.62 vs. 19.84 cigarettes, p < 0.001) and they also had bigger index "pack-years" than women (36.96 vs. 33.91, p = 0.024). Men were more often smokers and ex-smokers than women (47.4% vs. 30.8% for smokers and 25.0% vs. 22.8% for ex-smokers, p < 0.001). In this study a high prevalence of smoking was found among CHD patients in Croatia. Unless it is decreased, it can be expected that CHD patients in Croatia will continue to experience adverse effects more often than other CHD patients in the rest of Europe.
本文旨在利用选定的人体测量变量,调查克罗地亚住院冠心病(CHD)患者样本(N = 1298)中的吸烟率。共有444名受试者(34.6%)为非吸烟者,548名(42.6%)为吸烟者,293名(22.8%)为既往吸烟者。男性平均每天吸烟比女性多(22.62支对19.84支,p < 0.001),且他们的“吸烟包年”指数也比女性大(36.96对33.91,p = 0.024)。男性吸烟者和既往吸烟者的比例高于女性(吸烟者为47.4%对30.8%,既往吸烟者为25.0%对22.8%,p < 0.001)。本研究发现克罗地亚冠心病患者中吸烟率很高。除非吸烟率降低,否则预计克罗地亚的冠心病患者将比欧洲其他地区的其他冠心病患者更频繁地遭受不良影响。
