BACKGROUND:This study aimed to analyze the association between smoking during adolescence and the characteristics of smoking and alcohol consumption among their parents. DESIGN AND SETTING: Cross-sectional study in Londrina (PR), Brazil. METHODS:The subjects comprised 1,231 adolescents aged 14-17 years. The adolescents and their parents answered a self-report questionnaire that asked for sociodemographic information and data on smoking and alcohol consumption. Multiple logistic regression models were used to analyze associations between smoking among adolescents and their characteristics (age, sex, period of the day for attending school, alcohol consumption and socioeconomic level) and their parents' characteristics (smoking, alcohol consumption, age and education level), adjusted according to the adolescents' characteristics (sex, age and socioeconomic level). RESULTS:The prevalence of smoking among adolescents was 3.4% (95% confidence interval, CI: 2.4-4.4). Adolescents whose mothers or fathers were smokers were 2.0 and 2.5 times more likely to be smokers, respectively. The prevalence of smoking among adolescents with a smoking mother was 7.1% (95% CI: 2.6-10.7) and a smoking father, 5.4% (95% CI: 1.6-8.5). There were significant associations between smoking adolescents and age [5.2% (95% CI: 3.3-6.6)], studying at night [9.6% (95% CI: 4.0-15.5)] and alcohol consumption [69.0% (95% CI: 55.0-83.0)]. It was observed that the number of alcoholic beverage doses consumed was higher among smoking adolescents (P = 0.001). CONCLUSION: Adolescent smoking was associated with smoking by their parents, regardless of the gender of the parents or adolescents. Age, alcohol consumption and studying at night are characteristics of adolescents that can contribute towards smoking. IMSc. Physiotherapist,

“…Os alunos mais velhos da amostra revelaram maior prevalência de consumo e experimentação do que os mais novos, tal como no estudo Health Behaviour in School Aged Children (Ferreira & Matos, 2009) e no de Precioso et al (2012). No entanto, a prevalência de consumo regular ao nível dos alunos do 9.º ano (2,8% nos rapazes e 11,1% nas raparigas) e do 10.º ano (15,3% nos rapazes e 12,5% nas raparigas) enquadra-se nos valores obtidos por Precioso et al (2012) para o contexto nacional.…”

ResumoA exposição ao fumo ambiental do tabaco (FAT) representa um risco acrescido para a saúde pública. É nas suas próprias casas que as crianças correm maior risco de exposição ao FAT, em especial quando a mãe ou o pai são fumadores. Este estudo procurou conhecer a prevalência de crianças e jovens de uma escola do interior da região Alentejo expostas ao FAT. Aplicou-se um questionário a uma amostra de 141 alunos. Os resultados revelam que são em menor número os pais que fumam em casa dos alunos mais novos. O estudo permitiu definir algumas estratégias de abordagem a este fenómeno. Palavras chave: fumo ambiental do tabaco, crianças, pais fumadores. AbstractExposure to environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) poses an increased risk to public health.

Introduction: Nutrition is increasingly recognized as a key component of optimal sports performance. On the other hand, insufficient and continuous food intake can compromise athletic performance and success where Nutritional Knowledge can play a leading role. Methods: One hundred and three youth athletes from 6 different clubs belonging to the District, Honor, and National Championship participated in this study. To assess Nutritional Knowledge, consumption of alcohol and tobacco the Abridged Nutrition for Sport Knowledge Questionnaire was applied. Results: The percentage of Nutritional Knowledge obtained in the District Championship was 31.25%, in the Honors it was 35.56% and in the National Championship it was 35.02%. No significant differences were found between the Nutritional Knowledge of athletes. In turn, there were statistical differences in the consumption of alcohol and tobacco among the athletes of the 3 Championships, with the District division having the highest percentage of smokers (100%) and alcohol consumers (42.6%). Conclusion: It is essential to increase the Nutritional Knowledge observed in these young athletes since it can have an influential role in their food choices.
