This study aimed to estimate the prevalence of tobacco use and to describe the demographic profile of female smokers in Paraná State, Brazil. The study used a cross-sectional population-based design with cluster sampling (n = 2,153) of women 18 years or older in seven cities. Prevalence of smoking was 13.4%, ranging from 10% in Cascavel to 19% in Irati. According to multivariate analysis, city of residence, marital status, and schooling were significantly associated with tobacco use. Women in Irati (OR = 2.08; 95%CI: 1.22-3.54) were more likely to smoke than those in Cambé. Married women and widows were less likely to smoke (OR = 0.47; 95%CI: 0.30-0.73 and OR = 0.43; 95%CI: 0.22-0.87) than single women. Women living with a partner (but not married) were more likely to smoke than single women (OR = 2.49; 95%CI: 1.12-5.53), and women with university degrees were less likely to smoke than those with eight years of school or less (OR = 0.41; 95%CI: 0.22-0.87). The results confirm the need for tobacco control programs that take gender and regional differences into account.
本研究旨在估算巴西巴拉那州女性吸烟的流行率，并描述女性吸烟者的人口统计学特征。该研究采用基于人群的横断面设计，对七个城市中18岁及以上的女性进行整群抽样（n = 2153）。吸烟率为13.4%，范围从卡斯卡韦尔的10%到伊拉蒂的19%。根据多变量分析，居住城市、婚姻状况和受教育程度与吸烟显著相关。伊拉蒂的女性（OR = 2.08；95%CI：1.22 - 3.54）比坎贝的女性更有可能吸烟。已婚女性和寡妇吸烟的可能性低于单身女性（OR = 0.47；95%CI：0.30 - 0.73和OR = 0.43；95%CI：0.22 - 0.87）。与伴侣同居（但未结婚）的女性比单身女性更有可能吸烟（OR = 2.49；95%CI：1.12 - 5.53），拥有大学学位的女性比接受过八年及以下教育的女性吸烟可能性更低（OR = 0.41；95%CI：0.22 - 0.87）。结果证实了需要制定考虑到性别和地区差异的烟草控制项目。
