Individuals with higher intelligence are often believed to be more aware of the health risks associated with smoking and more inclined to adopt healthier lifestyles. This study investigates the prevalence of smoking among high-IQ individuals in Indonesia, providing insights that could inform targeted health interventions.
This is a cross-sectional study conducted in a population with high IQ. An online-based survey form was distributed to all active members of the Mensa high-IQ society in Indonesia over a three-month period (October to December 2024). The survey form collected sociodemographic data and queried participants about their smoking status and related details. The primary outcome of interest was the smoking habits of the subjects.
A total of 102 respondents aged ≥18 years participated in the study, which involved 73 men (71.6%) and 29 women (28.4%), with a mean age of 33.8 ± 10.2 years. The overall smoking prevalence among high-IQ individuals in Indonesia was 10.8%, with 12.3% of men and 6.9% of women currently smoking. Additionally, 9.8% were former smokers, leading to a total current or past smoking rate of 20.6%. This number is dramatically lower than the national smoking prevalence, which currently stands at around 40.3%. Although various sociodemographic factors were assessed, none showed a statistically significant association with smoking status in this population.
The prevalence of tobacco smoking among high-IQ individuals in Indonesia is 10.8% which is significantly lower than the national average. Although no statistically significant associations were found between sociodemographic variables and smoking status, smokers tended to have a family member who smoked, and individuals with higher annual incomes were less likely to smoke.
人们通常认为，智商较高的个体往往更清楚吸烟相关的健康风险，也更倾向于采取更健康的生活方式。本研究调查了印度尼西亚高智商人群中的吸烟率，为有针对性的健康干预措施提供参考依据。
这是一项针对高智商人群开展的横断面研究。在三个月时间内（2024年10月至12月），向印度尼西亚门萨高智商协会的所有活跃会员发放了一份在线调查问卷。该调查问卷收集了社会人口学数据，并询问了参与者的吸烟状况及相关细节。主要关注的结果是受试者的吸烟习惯。
共有102名年龄≥18岁的受访者参与了本研究，其中男性73人（71.6%），女性29人（28.4%），平均年龄为33.8±10.2岁。印度尼西亚高智商人群的总体吸烟率为10.8%，目前男性吸烟率为12.3%，女性为6.9%。此外，9.8%的人曾吸烟，因此目前或过去的吸烟率总计为20.6%。这一数字远低于目前约40.3%的全国吸烟率。尽管评估了各种社会人口学因素，但在该人群中，没有一个因素与吸烟状况存在统计学上的显著关联。
印度尼西亚高智商人群的吸烟率为10.8%，显著低于全国平均水平。虽然在社会人口学变量与吸烟状况之间未发现统计学上的显著关联，但吸烟者往往有吸烟的家庭成员，且年收入较高的个体吸烟可能性较小。
