To study whether weaker self-esteem in adolescence is connected with smoking behavior in adulthood.
An age cohort born in 1979 responded to the Lawrence Self-Esteem Questionnaire (LAWSEQ) at the age of 16 (n = 1,072). Respondents' smoking behavior was monitored annually during adolescence and 75.3% (n = 813) of them remained nonsmokers during adolescence. A follow-up questionnaire eliciting smoking behavior was sent to the adolescent nonsmokers at the age of 29 years. Response rate at follow-up was 46.2% (n = 376).
Weaker self-esteem (LAWSEQ score ≥ 3) during the adolescence was not significantly associated with smoking in adulthood. However, those respondents who had weaker self-esteem in adolescence had increased risk of having been smoking regularly (adjusted OR 1.8, 95% CI 1.1-3.0) although not all of them were smokers at the time of the follow-up.
Those with weaker self-esteem in adolescence are more likely to smoke regularly in adulthood.
研究青少年时期较低的自尊是否与成年后的吸烟行为有关。
一个出生于1979年的年龄队列在16岁时对劳伦斯自尊问卷(LAWSEQ)进行了回应(n = 1072)。在青少年时期每年监测受访者的吸烟行为,其中75.3%(n = 813)在青少年时期仍为非吸烟者。在29岁时向青少年非吸烟者发送了一份询问吸烟行为的随访问卷。随访回复率为46.2%(n = 376)。
青少年时期较低的自尊(LAWSEQ评分≥3)与成年后的吸烟没有显著关联。然而,那些在青少年时期自尊较低的受访者有增加的定期吸烟风险(调整后的比值比为1.8,95%置信区间为1.1 - 3.0),尽管并非所有受访者在随访时都是吸烟者。
青少年时期自尊较低的人在成年后更有可能定期吸烟。
