Tobacco smoking is the most preventable cause of diseases and death in older adults. This study aimed to evaluate the factors associated with the intention to quit smoking in elderly Korean men.
We investigated 813 male smokers aged 65 years or more from the 5th and 6th Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2010-2015. Multiple logistic regression analysis was performed to identify factors related with smoking cessation intention.
Of the respondents, 26.3% had the intention to quit smoking. After adjustment for confounding factors, the intention to quit smoking was significantly associated with a history of ischemic heart disease (adjusted odds ratio, 1.88; 95% confidence interval, 1.02-3.48).
Identifying the factors related to the intention to quit smoking among older adults can help in developing effective smoking cessation strategies for this section of the population.

我们调查了2010 - 2015年韩国第五次和第六次全国健康与营养检查调查中的813名65岁及以上的男性吸烟者。进行多因素逻辑回归分析以确定与戒烟意愿相关的因素。
在受访者中,26.3%有戒烟意愿。在调整混杂因素后,戒烟意愿与缺血性心脏病史显著相关(调整后的优势比为1.88;95%置信区间为1.02 - 3.48)。
确定老年人中与戒烟意愿相关的因素有助于为这部分人群制定有效的戒烟策略。
