Abstract(s)
O consumo de tabaco foi responsável, em Portugal, em 2015, pela morte
de 11.098 pessoas. É fundamental o conhecimento da extensão e das características
do tabagismo, para o planeamento de intervenções dirigidas ao seu
controlo. Foi realizado um estudo transversal, utilizando dados referentes
às características sociodemográficas e aos hábitos tabágicos da população
residente em Portugal com idade igual ou superior a 15 anos, colhidos pelo
Inquérito Nacional de Saúde, aplicado em 2014 a uma amostra representativa
de 22.538 indivíduos. A maioria dos fumadores atuais consumia habitualmente
cigarros em maço (homens: 79,3%; mulheres: 85,5%), encontrando-se as
percentagens mais elevadas nas mulheres da Região Autónoma dos Açores
(99,3%) e nas mulheres do grupo etário ≥75 anos (97,7%). A média do número
de cigarros fumados por dia foi 16 cigarros nos homens e 12 cigarros nas
mulheres, observando-se as médias mais elevadas nos homens da Região Autónoma
dos Açores (18 cigarros) e nos homens do grupo etário 45-54 anos (17
cigarros). A média da idade de início do consumo diário de tabaco foi 17 anos
nos homens e 19 anos nas mulheres, tendo-se observado o valor mais baixo
entre os homens da Região Autónoma dos Açores (16 anos). Nos ex-fumadores
a duração do consumo foi em média de 22 anos nos homens e 16 anos nas
mulheres, com valor mais elevado entre homens da Região Autónoma dos
Açores (26 anos). A maioria dos ex-fumadores tinha deixado de fumar sem
nenhum apoio (homens: 91%; mulheres: 94%), observando-se as percentagens
mais elevadas nas mulheres do grupo etário ≥75 anos (99,4%) e nas mulheres
da Região do Norte (97,4%). A prevalência estimada de utilizadores de cigarro
eletrónico foi 1,3% nos homens e 0,8% nas mulheres, encontrando-se as maiores
percentagens nos homens do grupo etário dos 25-34 anos (2,5%) e nos
homens da Região do Norte (2,0%). Os resultados encontrados apontam para
grupos de indivíduos nos quais uma intervenção preventiva (seletiva) do consumo
de tabaco é prioritária, além das intervenções universais.
Tobacco use was responsible, in Portugal, in 2015, for the death of 11,098 individuals. Knowledge of the extent and characteristics of smoking is essential for planning interventions aimed at its control. A cross-sectional study was conducted using data on socio-demographic characteristics and smoking habits of the Portugal resident population aged 15 and over, collected by the 5th National Health Survey, applied in 2014 to a representative sample of 22,538 individuals. Most current smokers usually used cigarette packs (men: 79.3%; women: 85.5%) and the highest estimated percentages were found in women of the Azores (99.3%) and in women in the ≥75 years old age group (97,7%). The average number of cigarettes smoked per day was 16 cigarettes in men and 12 cigarettes in women; the highest average were found in men of the Azores (18 cigarettes) and in men in the 45-54 years old age group (17 cigarettes). The mean of the beginning age of daily smoking was 17 years in men and 19 years in women; the lowest mean was found in men of the Azores (16 years). The mean of the duration of consumption in former smokers was 22 years in men and 16 years in women; the highest mean was found in men of the Azores (26 years). Most ex-smokers had quit smoking without any support (men: 91%, women: 94%) and the highest estimated percentages were found in women in the ≥75 years old age group (99,4%) and in women of the Northern Region (97,4%). The prevalence of electronic cigarette users was 1.3% in men and 0.8% in women; the highest percentages were found in men in the 25-34 years old age group (2.5%) and in men of the Northern Region (2,0%). The results point to groups of individuals in which a (selective) preventive intervention of tobacco consumption is a priority, in addition to universal interventions.
