“…This relationship was strongest among students who were lowest in risk-taking tendencies-a group that is otherwise at low risk for smoking experimentation and uptake. 24 The strength of the association between initiation and frequent exposure overall was comparable to that of the association between initiation and living with a smoker.…”

“…24 Based on previous research, 25 ten items associated with risk-taking were screened using principle components analysis: (1) excessive drinking; (2) driving while intoxicated; (3) ever smoking marijuana; (4) ever using cocaine; (5) ever using heroin; (6) ever using methamphetamine; (7) ever using ecstasy; (8) ever using prescription medication recreationally; (9) ever using inhalants; (10) having unprotected sex. These items all loaded on a single factor and were summed to form a unit-weighted composite that ranged from zero to ten (M=.83; SD=2.84) Sociodemographic Characteristics Sociodemographic variables used in the analyses were age, sex, race/ethnicity, and borough of residence.…”

Exposure to Tobacco Retail Outlets and Smoking Initiation among New York City Adolescents

et al. 2013

This study was designed to estimate the relationship between exposure to tobacco retail outlets and smoking initiation in a racially diverse urban setting. Using data from the 2011 NYC Youth Risk Behavior Survey, multivariable logistic regression analyses were conducted to estimate the exposure-initiation relationship and test for effect modification, while controlling for covariates. The predicted probability of smoking initiation from the multivariable model increased from 7.7 % for zero times a week exposed to tobacco retailers to 16.0 % for exposure seven times or more per week. The odds of initiation were significantly higher among adolescents exposed to tobacco retail outlets two times or more a week compared with those exposed less often (AOR=1.41; 95 % CI: 1.08, 1.84). Risk-taking behavior modified the relationship between exposure and initiation, with the odds of initiation highest among those low in risk-taking (AOR=1.78; 95 % CI: 1.14, 1.56). These results are consistent with past research, showing that frequent exposure to tobacco marketing in retail settings is associated with increased odds of initiation. Reducing exposure to tobacco retail marketing could play an important role in curtailing smoking among adolescents, especially those less prone to risk-taking.

“…Baixo rendimento escolar, abandono dos estudos e trabalho remunerado também mostram estar associados com tabagismo. Desajuste familiar, separação dos pais e moradia com outras pessoas que não os pais biológicos são condições que aumentam a possibilidade do uso de tabaco [37][38][39][40][41] . Ingestão de bebidas alcoólicas é um comportamento intensamente relacionado com o tabagismo 41 .…”

RESUMO OBJETIVO.Analisar o impacto quanto ao uso de tabaco no perfil lipídico-lipoprotéico plasmático em amostra representativa de adolescentes. MÉTODOS. A amostra foi constituída por 452 sujeitos (246 moças e 206 rapazes) com idades entre 15 e 18 anos. Os participantes completaram questionário estruturado auto-administrado com relação ao uso de tabaco. As concentrações de lipídeos-lipoproteínas plasmáticas foram estabelecidas mediante procedimentos laboratoriais. Os procedimentos da análise de covariância, controlando a participação da ingestão de gordura saturada e de colesterol dietético, foram empregados para identificar as diferenças entre os valores médios. As estimativas de odds ratio foram utilizadas para estabelecer o risco relativo dos adolescentes fumantes apresentarem perfil lipídico-lipoprotéico de risco aterogênico. RESULTADOS. A proporção de fumantes foi de 20,9% entre os rapazes e 15,4% entre as moças. O consumo médio de cigarros por dia foi de 9,2 ± 4,7 nos rapazes e 5,6 ± 3,1 nas moças. Quando comparados com não fumantes, rapazes e moças fumantes apresentaram níveis séricos de colesterol total, LDL-colesterol, triglicerídeos e apolipoproteína B100 significativamente mais elevados, e níveis séricos de HDL-colesterol significativamente menores. Adolescentes fumantes tenderam a demonstrar risco de níveis de lipídeos-lipoproteinas plasmáticas alterados duas vezes maior que não fumantes. CONCLUSÃO. Intervenções direcionadas à adoção de um estilo de vida saudável, incluindo abstenção do uso de tabaco, deverão iniciar-se em idades precoces na tentativa de prevenir ou retardar o desenvolvimento de lesões ateroscleróticas e minimizar o aparecimento de coronariopatias prematuras na idade adulta. 12,13 . No Brasil, dados representativos de 27 capitais indicam que por volta de 10% dos escolares brasileiros fazem uso de tabaco 14 . Apesar da inalação de substâncias tóxicas produzidas pelo fumo estar estreitamente associada ao aparecimento e ao desenvolvimento de alguns tipos de câncer e à manifestação de graves distúrbios respiratórios [15][16][17][18] , as doenças cardiovasculares são as mais importantes conseqüências do uso de tabaco [3][4][5][6][7]19,20 . Importantes alterações em mecanismos funcionais e metabólicos têm sido descritas para explicar os efeitos nocivos do tabaco no sistema cardiovascular, entre as quais modificações nas concentrações de lipídeos-lipoproteinas plasmáticas vêm sendo bem documentadas. Quando comparados aos não fumantes, os adultos fumantes tendem a apresentar um perfil plasmático aterogênico mais comprometido [4][5][6] . No entanto, poucos são os estudos publicados que procuram reportar o impacto quanto ao uso de tabaco no perfil lipídico-lipoprotéico plasmático de sujeitos ainda em idades jovens. Sendo assim, o objetivo do presente estudo foi analisar essas variáveis em amostra representativa de adolescentes e, desse modo, oferecer informações relacionadas à extensão a que o uso de tabaco possa estar associado no que diz respeito às modificações adversas nas concentrações d...

“…Externalizing behaviors which include risk-taking and disinhibited behavior have been shown to be associated with increased rates of both cigarette use and illegal substance use (Brook et al, 2004;Burt, Dinh, Peterson, & Sarason, 2000;Koval, Pederson, Mills, McGrady, & Carvajal, 2000). Internalizing behaviors involving depression have been shown to be predictive of increased rates of tobacco consumption in both adolescents and adults (Glassman et al, 1990;Son, Markovitz, Winders, & Smith, 1997).…”

This study examined the psychosocial predictors of nicotine dependence in African Americans and Puerto Ricans. A longitudinal, prospective study design was employed. Data on five psychosocial domains was obtained from a four-wave study of tobacco use and smoking behavior; data was analyzed using logistic regression. Participants (N=475) included adult African Americans and Puerto Ricans initially recruited from urban public schools in New York City and interviewed when they were mean age 14 years, and then again when they were mean ages 19, 24, and 26. Structured interviews were administered at four points in time over a period of 12 years. Nicotine dependence was measured using a DSM-IV adapted version of the Kessler UM-CIDI nicotine dependence measure. Logistic regression analyses showed that factors in each of five psychosocial domains (personality, drug use behavior, family, peer, and environment) significantly predicted nicotine dependence. The pattern of results was similar for both African American and Puerto Rican samples. Protective factors that mitigated against nicotine dependence included achievement, ego-integration, and a positive school climate. The findings indicate that a variety of risk factors contribute to the diagnosis of nicotine dependence. When examining the causes of nicotine dependence, it is important to investigate an array of biopsychosocial and environmental factors.
