OBJECTIVE
Although gender differences in smoking have received much attention, few studies have explored the importance of contextual effects on male and female smoking rates. The aim of this study is to examine the association between variations in city-level sex ratios and gender differences in smoking in China.
METHODS
Participants included 16,866 urban residents, who were identified through multi-stage sampling conducted in 21 Chinese cities.
RESULTS
The study found that, independent of personal characteristics, cities with more males had higher male smoking rates and lower female rates.
CONCLUSIONS
Our research underscores the importance of city-level contextual effects in understanding gender differences in smoking in China.
目的

参与者包括16866名城市居民，他们是通过在中国21个城市进行的多阶段抽样确定的。
结果
研究发现，独立于个人特征之外，男性较多的城市男性吸烟率较高，女性吸烟率较低。
结论
我们的研究强调了城市层面的环境因素在理解中国吸烟方面的性别差异中的重要性。
