To better characterize the relation of acculturation, based on language use, to smoking status among Mexican-Americans, a large study sample from an ongoing cohort of Mexican-American households in Texas was stratified into current smokers and non-smokers. Four language-use groups were created based on Low/High use of Spanish and English, representing different degrees of acculturation. Participants who reported high English but low Spanish use had the highest smoking prevalence (20.1 %), followed by High English/High Spanish (13.6 %), Low English/High Spanish (8.7 %), and Low English/Low Spanish (6.4 %). Current smokers were more likely to be male, have lower than high school education, currently consume alcohol or had consumed alcohol but quit, and report low Spanish/high English use. Consistent with recent models of acculturation, individuals can differ both in their maintenance of the native language and adoption of a new language and both dimensions are important in predicting tobacco use.
为了更好地描述基于语言使用的文化适应与墨西哥裔美国人吸烟状况之间的关系，来自德克萨斯州一个正在进行的墨西哥裔美国家庭队列的大量研究样本被分为当前吸烟者和非吸烟者。根据西班牙语和英语的低/高使用情况创建了四个语言使用组，代表不同程度的文化适应。报告英语使用高但西班牙语使用低的参与者吸烟率最高（20.1%），其次是高英语/高西班牙语（13.6%）、低英语/高西班牙语（8.7%）和低英语/低西班牙语（6.4%）。当前吸烟者更可能是男性，受教育程度低于高中，目前饮酒或曾饮酒但已戒酒，并且报告西班牙语使用低/英语使用高。与最近的文化适应模型一致，个体在母语的保留和新语言的采用方面可能存在差异，并且这两个维度在预测烟草使用方面都很重要。
