          Abstract

          A relação entre característico sócio-demográfico e consumo de tabaco pode subsidiar a elaboração de programas de natureza preventiva contra iniciação e/ou dependência nicotínica. O objetivo do estudo é investigar a associação entre características sócio-demográficas e tabagismo em uma amostra de universitários. Foram sorteados aleatoriamente, 1245 acadêmicos matriculados na UFMT em 2001. Aplicou-se um questionário para levantamento do perfil sócio-demográfico e padrão de consumo de tabaco da população. Utilizou-se o Teste de Fagerström (1978), para avaliação do grau de dependência dos fumantes. Os estudantes foram agrupados em três categorias: "fumantes" (F), "ex-fumantes" (EF), e "não-fumantes" (NF). Efetuou-se duas análises de regressão logística, respectivamente, tomando-se as categorias F x NF e F x EF como variáveis "dependentes". Universitários fumantes, foram classificados como "dependentes" ou "não-dependentes", segundo a pontuação no teste de Fagerström. Efetuou-se uma regressão linear múltipla, para investigar a associação entre as pontuações no teste e fatores sócio-demográficos. Foi encontrada uma prevalência de 6,67% de fumantes, 6,58% ex-fumantes e 86,73% não fumantes. Na primeira análise de regressão logística múltipla, apenas o fator idade permaneceu associado à categoria Fumantes. Na segunda análise, apenas os fatores idade, área do curso e idade de início do consumo, permanecem associados à categoria ex-fumantes. Universitários fumantes tendem a se concentrar nas faixas etárias mais altas. Acadêmicos de cursos da área de biológicas/saúde têm mais probabilidade de interromper o consumo, em comparação aos de humanas.

          The relationship between socio-demographic characteristics and the consumption of tobacco may subsidize the elaboration of programs of a preventive nature against the beginning of the smoking habit and/or dependence. The aims of the study is to investigate the association between socio-demographic characteristics and smoking within a sample of university students, 1245 students enrolled at UFMT in 2001 were chosen at random. A questionnaire was applied to verify the population's socio-demographic profile and tobacco consumption pattern. The Fagerström test (1978) was used to asses the degree of dependence of the smokers. The students were grouped in three categories: "smokers" (F), "former-smokers" (EF), and "non-smokers" (NF).Two logistic regression analyses were executed, respectively considering the categories F x NF and F x EF as "dependent" variables. "Smoking" students were classified as "dependent" or "non-dependent", according to the Fagerström test score. Multiple linear regression was executed to investigate the association between the test scores and socio-demographic factors. A 6,7% prevalence of smokers was detected, 6,58% of former-smokers and 86,73% of non-smokers. In the first multiple logistic regression analysis, only the age factor remained associated with the Smoker category. In the second analysis, only the factors age, course area and age the student began smoking remain associated with the former-smoker category. Smoking university students tend to concentrate within the higher age group. Students in courses of the biology/health area have a greater possibility of interrupting the consumption, in comparison to those of humanities.

          Smoking behaviour and personality: a population-based study in Japan.

          The aim of our study was to determine whether the previously reported findings also apply to a general population in Japan and whether, among current smokers, such personality characteristics can be correlated with the age they started to smoke and their present daily consumption of cigarettes. Cross-sectional survey. Miyagi prefecture, in northern Japan. 20,538 residents in Miyagi, aged 40-64 years. A self-administered questionnaire involving smoking status (current, ex- and non-smokers) and patterns and the Japanese version of the short-form Eysenck Personality Questionnaire-Revised (EPQ-R). (1) Current and ex-smokers were higher on Extraversion and Psychoticism than non-smokers for both genders. (2) Heavy smokers were higher on Psychoticism than light smokers and those who started to smoke prior to the legally permitted age were higher on Psychoticism than those who did not. (1) Our study confirmed that the findings which had been previously reported in selected samples in western countries also apply to a general population in Japan; (2) current smokers were found to be heterogeneous in terms of Psychoticism when the age they started to smoke and their present daily consumption of cigarettes were taken into account.
