The authors investigated the relationship between household environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) exposure and prevalence of respiratory symptoms and diseases as well as absenteeism related to respiratory illness in schoolchildren. The study sample consisted of 1,074 children aged 7-11 years from three primary schools in Nis (Serbia). ETS exposure was associated with wheezing (OR-1.48; 1.09-2.01), bronchitis (OR-1.66; 1.23-2.23), headache (OR-1.45; 1.08-1.95), and fatigue (OR-1.38; 1.02-1.85) in exposed children. The other risk factors with possible influences weren't assessed. There was no statistically significant difference in the number of physicians' visits as well as in absenteeism from school due to illness in children exposed to ETS in comparison to non exposed children. The tobacco smoke effect on children is an essential and urgent problem with life lasting negative health effects which are preventable.
作者调查了家庭环境烟草烟雾（ETS）暴露与呼吸道症状和疾病患病率以及学龄儿童与呼吸道疾病相关的缺勤之间的关系。研究样本包括来自塞尔维亚尼斯市三所小学的1074名7至11岁的儿童。暴露儿童的ETS暴露与喘息（比值比[OR]-1.48；1.09 - 2.01）、支气管炎（OR-1.66；1.23 - 2.23）、头痛（OR-1.45；1.08 - 1.95）和疲劳（OR-1.38；1.02 - 1.85）有关。未评估其他可能有影响的风险因素。与未暴露儿童相比，暴露于ETS的儿童看医生的次数以及因病缺课情况在统计学上没有显著差异。烟草烟雾对儿童的影响是一个至关重要且紧迫的问题，会对健康产生长期负面影响，而这些影响是可以预防的。
