We investigated the prevalence and correlates of electronic cigarette (e-cigarette) use in a representative sample of Korean adults.
This cross-sectional study used data from the Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey of 2013. We analyzed 5338 subjects (≥19 years old) who provided data on e-cigarette use, sex, age, socioeconomic status, and health risk behaviors. Multivariate analyses were performed using logistic regression.
Using weighted samples, the prevalence of ever and current e-cigarette use were 6.6 and 1.1 %, respectively (11.2 and 2.0 % in men and 2.0 and 0.4 % in women). In multivariate analysis, the probability of ever e-cigarette use was highest in current smokers (OR 29.3, 95 % CI 15.5-55.3), former smokers (OR 6.1, 95 % CI 3.3-11.2), and daily heavy drinkers (OR 1.9, 95 % CI 1.1-3.4). Current e-cigarette use was associated with current smoking (OR 16.2, 95 % CI 4.7-55.4) and weekly heavy drinking (OR 2.7, 95 % CI 1.1-6.7).
E-cigarette use was strongly associated with conventional cigarette use and with frequent heavy drinking. Dual use e-cigarettes and conventional cigarette use as well as the association between heavy alcohol use and e-cigarettes need further exploration.
我们在具有代表性的韩国成年人样本中调查了电子烟使用情况及其相关因素。
这项横断面研究使用了2013年韩国国家健康与营养检查调查的数据。我们分析了5338名（≥19岁）提供了电子烟使用情况、性别、年龄、社会经济地位和健康风险行为数据的受试者。使用逻辑回归进行多变量分析。
采用加权样本，曾经使用和当前使用电子烟的患病率分别为6.6%和1.1%（男性为11.2%和2.0%，女性为2.0%和0.4%）。在多变量分析中，当前吸烟者（比值比29.3，95%置信区间15.5 - 55.3）、既往吸烟者（比值比6.1，95%置信区间3.3 - 11.2）和每日重度饮酒者（比值比1.9，95%置信区间1.1 - 3.4）曾经使用电子烟的可能性最高。当前使用电子烟与当前吸烟（比值比16.2，95%置信区间4.7 - 55.4）和每周重度饮酒（比值比2.7，95%置信区间1.1 - 6.7）有关。
电子烟使用与传统香烟使用以及频繁重度饮酒密切相关。电子烟与传统香烟的双重使用以及重度饮酒与电子烟之间的关联需要进一步探讨。
