There are difficulties in the treatment of smoking cessation in elderly patients. However, elderly smokers who gave up smoking had lower rates of death from heart attack, stroke, and cancer, as well as improved cognitive function. This study aimed to investigate the affecting factors and the success of smoking cessation rate in patients aged 60 and over in Turkey.
Six smoking cessation outpatient clinics from four provinces were included in the study. The records of 1,065 patients who applied to a smoking cessation outpatient clinic between 2016 and 2019 and who were 60 yr of age or older were scanned. Overall, 917 cases that could be reached after treatment were included in the study. Smoking cessation rates at the first month, 3rd month, 6th month, 9th month and 12th month were given.
Of the 917 cases, 65.1% were male and 34.9% were female. Smoking cessation rates were 45.6% on the first month, 39% on the third month, 35.1% on the sixth month, 31.2% on the ninth month, and 30.3% at the twelfth month. Smoking cessation success was higher in men than in women.
Since the success of smoking cessation in the elderly was similar to that of adults. Since smoking is an independent risk factor for death in the elderly, there should be greater willingness to provide elderly patients with smoking cessation treatment to reduce physical function loss and promote healthier aging.
老年患者戒烟治疗存在困难。然而，戒烟的老年吸烟者心脏病发作、中风和癌症的死亡率较低，认知功能也有所改善。本研究旨在调查土耳其60岁及以上患者戒烟的影响因素及戒烟成功率。
本研究纳入了来自四个省份的六个戒烟门诊。扫描了2016年至2019年间申请戒烟门诊且年龄在60岁及以上的1065例患者的记录。总体而言，研究纳入了治疗后能够联系到的917例病例。给出了第1个月、第3个月、第6个月、第9个月和第12个月的戒烟率。
917例病例中，男性占65.1%，女性占34.9%。第1个月戒烟率为45.6%，第3个月为39%，第6个月为35.1%，第9个月为31.2%，第12个月为30.3%。男性戒烟成功率高于女性。
由于老年人戒烟成功率与成年人相似。鉴于吸烟是老年人死亡的独立危险因素，应更愿意为老年患者提供戒烟治疗，以减少身体功能丧失，促进更健康的衰老。
