Latino smokers are a rising public health concern who experience elevated tobacco-related health disparities.
Additional information on Latino smoking is needed to inform screening and treatment.
Latent class analysis using smoking frequency, cigarette preferences, onset, smoking duration, cigarettes per day, and minutes to first cigarette was used to create multivariate latent smoking profiles for Latino men and women.
Final models found seven classes for Latinas and nine classes for Latinos. Despite a common finding in the literature that Latino smokers are more likely to be low-risk intermittent smokers, the majority of classes for both males and females described patterns of high-risk daily smoking. Gender variations in smoking classes were noted.
Several markers of smoking risk were identified among both male and female Latino smokers, including long durations of smoking, daily smoking, and preference for specialty cigarettes, all factors associated with long-term health consequences.
拉丁裔吸烟者日益引起公共卫生关注,他们面临与烟草相关的健康差距不断扩大的问题。
需要更多关于拉丁裔吸烟情况的信息,以便为筛查和治疗提供依据。
使用吸烟频率、香烟偏好、开始吸烟时间、吸烟时长、每日吸烟量以及吸第一支烟的时间进行潜在类别分析,以创建拉丁裔男性和女性的多变量潜在吸烟概况。
最终模型发现拉丁裔女性有七种类别,拉丁裔男性有九种类别。尽管文献中普遍发现拉丁裔吸烟者更有可能是低风险间歇性吸烟者,但男性和女性的大多数类别都描述了高风险每日吸烟模式。吸烟类别存在性别差异。
在拉丁裔男性和女性吸烟者中都发现了几种吸烟风险标志物,包括吸烟时间长、每日吸烟以及对特种香烟的偏好,所有这些因素都与长期健康后果相关。
