Abstract

The aim of this study was to determine the smoking prevalence and risk factors among people aged 15 years and over, costs of smoking and the relationship between smoking and chronic diseases. A cross-sectional and analytic study was performed in a slum area. 154 residences were selected by systematic sampling and face-to-face interviews were performed. The Chi square test and t-test were used for statistical analysis. Of the 455 persons, 51% were men; 43.5% were in the 15-29 age group; 53.2% were primary school graduates; 41.1% had no social insurance or had a poverty card (yesil kart), 16.5% had a smoking related disease. 38.2% were current smokers, and 6.8% were former smokers. The mean number of cigarettes per day of current smokers was 20.5; the mean number of years of smoking was18.1. The smoking prevalence was significantly higher among men (p=0.000), the 30-59 years age group (p=0.000), poorly educated subjects (p=0.002), unemployed years subjects (p=0.007), subjects without social insurance (p=0.005), alcohol consuming subjects (p=0.000), and subjects with a chronic disease history in his/her family (p=0.007). 110 smoker families spent 15.6% of their monthly income on smoking . There was no relationship between smoking and chronic diseases. Smoking prevalence was lower than expected. Considering the household income, the percentage of smoking costs was very high. There was no positive correlation between smoking and chronic diseases.

Özet

Çalışmanın amacı 15 yaş üzerinde sigara içicilik sıklığını, risk faktörlerini, sigara için yapılan harcamaları, ve sigara ile kronik hastalık ilişkisini saptamaktır. Kesitsel analitik olan bu çalışma bir gecekondu yerleşim yerinde yapılmıştır. Sistematik örnekleme ile 154 hane seçilerek yüz yüze görüşme yapılmıştır. İstatistiksel analizler için Ki-kare ve t-testi kullanılmıştır. 455 kişinin %51.0’ı erkek, %43.5’i 15-29 yaş grubunda, %53.2’si ilkokul mezunu, %41.1’inin sosyal güvencesi yok ya da yeşil kartlıdır. %16.5’inde sigara ile ilişkilendirilen hastalık vardır. %38.2’si halen sigara içicisi, %6.8’i eski içicidir. Halen içici olanların günlük sigara sayı ortalaması 20.5 adet, içtikleri süre ortalaması 18.1 yıldır. Erkeklerin (p=0.000), 30-59 yaş grubunun (p=0.000), ilk ve ortaokul mezunlarının (p=0.002), işsiz ve düzensiz işlerde çalışanların (p=0.007), sosyal güvencesi olmayan ve yeşil kartlıların (p=0.005), alkol kullananların (p=0.000), ailesinde tanılı kronik hastalık olanların (p=0.007) sigara içicilik sıklığı anlamlı olarak daha yüksektir. İçici olan 110 aile toplam aylık gelirlerinin %15.6’sını sigara için harcamaktadır. Sigara içiciliğinin hastalık varlığını etkilemediği saptanmıştır. İçicilik sıklığı beklenenden düşük (%38.2) saptanmıştır. Sigara içenler gelirlerinin yaklaşık 1/6’sını sigara için harcamaktadır. Sigara ile ilişkilendirilen tanı konmuş kronik hastalık varlığını içicilik etkilememektedir.
