We evaluated the validity of blood 2,5-dimethylfuran (DMF) for determining smoking status using population-based data.
We obtained blood DMF concentrations and smoking status from National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2003-2006 and computed sensitivity, specificity and Kappa statistic.
Self-reported smoking showed very high agreement (Kappa = 92.8-93.3%) in daily smokers and fair agreement in non-daily smokers (Kappa = 33.7-36.4%). Coffee intake did not influence the detection of blood DMF.
Blood DMF has comparable sensitivity and specificity with serum cotinine for identifying current daily smokers, which may make it a useful biomarker in epidemiologic studies.
我们利用基于人群的数据评估了血液中2,5 - 二甲基呋喃(DMF)用于确定吸烟状况的有效性。
我们从2003 - 2006年国家健康与营养检查调查中获取了血液DMF浓度和吸烟状况,并计算了敏感性、特异性和kappa统计量。
自我报告的吸烟情况在每日吸烟者中显示出非常高的一致性(kappa = 92.8 - 93.3%),在非每日吸烟者中一致性一般(kappa = 33.7 - 36.4%)。咖啡摄入量不影响血液DMF的检测。
血液DMF在识别当前每日吸烟者方面具有与血清可替宁相当的敏感性和特异性,这可能使其成为流行病学研究中的一种有用生物标志物。
