Tobacco use in pregnancy is linked with various negative health effects. The aim of this study was to examine the prevalence of maternal tobacco use during pregnancy and sociodemographic and health correlates.
Data of ever pregnant women from the cross-sectional "South African National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (SANHANES-1) 2011-12" were analyzed. The sample included 5089 adolescents and adult women aged 15-55 years. They responded to questions on tobacco use, sociodemographic and health indicators.
Results indicate that 5.0% [95% confidence interval (CI) = 4.3, 5.9] of South African women had engaged in tobacco use during their pregnancy. In adjusted analysis, being Colored and White population groups, poor self-rated health status, and having chronic medical conditions were associated with tobacco use during pregnancy.
Findings suggest links between sociodemographic and health variables and prenatal tobacco use, which may have public health policy implications.
孕期吸烟与多种负面健康影响相关。本研究旨在调查孕期母亲吸烟的患病率以及社会人口统计学和健康相关因素。
分析了横断面“2011 - 2012年南非国家健康与营养检查调查（SANHANES - 1）”中曾怀孕女性的数据。样本包括5089名年龄在15 - 55岁的青少年和成年女性。她们回答了有关吸烟、社会人口统计学和健康指标的问题。
结果表明，5.0%[95%置信区间（CI）= 4.3，5.9]的南非女性在孕期吸烟。在调整分析中，有色人种和白人人群、自我健康评价差以及患有慢性疾病与孕期吸烟有关。
研究结果表明社会人口统计学和健康变量与产前吸烟之间存在关联，这可能对公共卫生政策有影响。
