BACKGROUND
Betel quid is more widely consumed than tobacco in Myanmar. It brings adverse health effects regardless of whether it contains tobacco; however, Myanmar has no clear prevention strategy. This study aims to show a broader picture of the prevalence of betel quid chewing and the observable characteristics of its consumers in Myanmar by comparing it to tobacco usage.
METHODS
This study used the 2015-2016 Myanmar Demographic and Health Survey data. First, we identified characteristics of betel quid consumers by a logit model. Next, we focused on exploring who would be likely to become heavy users, conditioned on being a betel quid consumer by controlling for possible sample selection bias.
RESULTS
We found differences in characteristics for betel chewers and tobacco smokers, and for betel quid users and heavy users.
CONCLUSION
These results suggest that betel quid consumption should be regulated by a specific prevention strategy rather than by Myanmar's existing tobacco prevention strategy.
背景
在缅甸，嚼槟榔的人比吸烟的人多。无论是否含有烟草，嚼槟榔都会带来不良的健康影响；然而，缅甸没有明确的预防策略。本研究旨在通过与烟草使用情况进行比较，更全面地展示缅甸嚼槟榔的流行程度和消费者的可观察特征。
方法
本研究使用了 2015-2016 年缅甸人口与健康调查数据。首先，我们通过逻辑回归模型确定了嚼槟榔者的特征。接下来，我们重点探讨了在控制可能的样本选择偏差的情况下，哪些人有可能成为重度嚼槟榔者。
结果
我们发现嚼槟榔者和吸烟者之间存在差异，以及嚼槟榔者和重度嚼槟榔者之间存在差异。
结论
这些结果表明，嚼槟榔的消费应该受到特定预防策略的监管，而不是由缅甸现有的烟草预防策略来监管。
