Tobacco use and associated risk factors in Burkina Faso: results from a population-based cross-sectional survey

Abstract: BackgroundTobacco is a leading preventable cause of non-communicable diseases (NCDs). Studies characterizing the prevalence of tobacco use in low-income countries are lacking. This study describes the prevalence of tobacco use in Burkina Faso and its associated factors.MethodsData from the 2013 Burkina Faso World Health Organization (WHO) Stepwise approach to Surveillance (STEPS) were analyzed. The prevalence of any tobacco product use, cigarette smoking, and other tobacco use was calculated. Logistic regressi… Show more

“…This result was in line with the previous studies in Ethiopia, Tanzania, Brazil, and Burkina Faso. 8 , 23 , 33–35 In contrast, a study in Kenya reported that the majority of smokers were in younger age groups. 36 The reason for higher tobacco use in older women could be due to older women might have long smoking histories, previous unsuccessful quitting attempts, and doubts about the advantages of leaving tobacco use.…”

“…This finding was consistent with many previous study results. 22 , 33 , 40 This can be due to poly-substance use behaviors. Khat chewing, alcohol consumption, and tobacco use are closely connected ceremonies, and consuming one of them could lead to the use of another one.…”

“…32 High prevalences of some CVD risk factors (hypertension, diabetes, and tobacco use) have been reported. [33][34][35] Given the high prevalence of these CVD risk factors, atherosclerotic CVD might be the most important public health concern. 36 Despite the importance of CVD risk to inform policymakers and health authorities in understanding the magnitude of the future distribution of CVDs in the population, no study has evaluated this score at the population-wide level in Burkina Faso.…”

“…Tobacco smoking is the leading preventable cause of premature death in both developing and developed countries (WHO, 2015;Reitsma, et al, 2017;Jetty et al, 2017;Bonnechère et al, 2019). Deadly diseases associated with tobacco abuse include lung cancer, pneumonia, vascular diseases, age-related muscle degeneration, respiratory heart disease, chronic obstructive lung disease, stroke, aortic aneurysm and ischaemic heart disease (McGinnis & Foege, 1993;Wald & Hackshaw, 1996;Ockene & Miller, 1997;Jetty et al, 2017).…”
