The authors assessed sex and age differences in secondhand smoke (SHS) exposure among vulnerable adolescent populations. Data from the 2013 Korea Youth Risk Behavior Web-based Survey of 64,499 non-smokers aged 13-18 years were analyzed using multiple logistic regression. Girls were exposed 1.26 times (95% confidence interval, 1.21-1.32) more to home SHS than boys, and the younger adolescents were more likely to be exposed to home SHS than were the older, regardless of sex (p < 0.001). Younger girls living with or without current smokers and the younger boys living with current smokers were more likely to be exposed to SHS at home, when the data were stratified according to current household member smoking, which was one of the main risk factors for SHS exposure at home. Girls living with current smokers were more likely to be exposed to SHS at home than boys regardless age. Girls and younger adolescents, populations vulnerable to smoke exposure, were more likely to be exposed to SHS at home, even though they should be more protected. It is necessary to improve home SHS awareness, especially among these vulnerable populations.
作者评估了易受影响的青少年群体中二手烟暴露的性别和年龄差异。利用多重逻辑回归分析了2013年韩国青少年风险行为网络调查中64499名13 - 18岁非吸烟者的数据。女孩在家中接触二手烟的几率比男孩高1.26倍（95%置信区间为1.21 - 1.32），且无论性别如何，年龄较小的青少年比年龄较大的青少年更易在家中接触到二手烟（p < 0.001）。根据当前家庭成员吸烟情况（这是在家中接触二手烟的主要风险因素之一）对数据进行分层时，与吸烟者同住或不同住的年龄较小的女孩以及与吸烟者同住的年龄较小的男孩在家中更易接触到二手烟。与吸烟者同住的女孩无论年龄大小在家中接触二手烟的可能性都比男孩大。女孩和年龄较小的青少年是易受烟雾暴露影响的群体，即使她们应得到更多保护，但在家中仍更易接触到二手烟。有必要提高对家庭二手烟的认识，尤其是在这些易受影响的人群中。
