Santander. Salud [online]. 2022, vol.54, e323. Epub 21-Oct-2022. ISSN 0121-0807. https://doi.org/10.18273/saluduis.54.e:22029.
Introduction:
Tobacco use among women is increasing significantly despite alarming health hazards.
Objective:
To determine the prevalence and factors associated with tobacco consumption in women from the department of Antioquia, Colombia.
Material and methods:
Cross-sectional descriptive study, with a representative sample of women over 18 years of age in the nine subregions of the department, using multistage probabilistic sampling, stratified by region.
Results:
Of the 4,377 women, 10.8% were smokers, 13.1% were ex-smokers, and 75.9% were women who had never smoked. Variables related to the highest reported smokers: having more than 45 years of age (OR=3.2, CI 2.6-3.9); not having an education or an incomplete primary education (OR=2.2, IC 1.5-3.1), incomplete secondary education (OR=1.5, CI 1.1-2.2), consuming liquor (OR=2.3, CI 1.9-2.7), not consuming vegetables (OR=1.4, IC 1.0-2.0), not consuming fruit (OR=1,6, CI 1,2-2,1). Variables related to less reported smoking: being married (OR=0.6, CI 0.5-0.8) and living in some of the subregions.
Conclusions:
The importance of programs focused on preventing the consumption of new products such as e-cigarettes is evident, especially in young people.
