Determinants of Smoking and Desire to Quit in Almaty, Kazakhstan
Bibliographic Data
We studied the prevalence and determinants of smoking and desire to stop smoking in a cross-sectional study among 1174 randomly selected adults aged 45+ years in Almaty, Kazakhstan. Associations between smoking and its correlates were studied by multivariable Poisson regression. Prevalence ratios (PR) with 95 % confidence intervals (CI) were calculated. Among current smokers we also studied factors associated with their desire to quit. Altogether, 40.7 % of men were current smokers and 63.1 % of them desired to stop smoking. The corresponding numbers for women were 10.0 % and 72.1 %. Male gender (PR = 4.14; 95 % CI: 3.18-5.40), Russian ethnicity (PR = 1.56; 95 % CI: 1.23-1.97), secondary or less education (PR = 1.37; 95 % CI: 1.09-1.73) and having satisfactory or worse psychological family climate (PR = 1.84; 95 % CI: 1.26-2.67) were positively associated with smoking. Men who reported poor (PR = 1.24; 95 % CI: 1.11-1.38) or satisfactory (PR = 1.17; 95 % CI: 1.08-1.27) health, had very good psychological family climate (PR = 1.20; 95 % CI: 1.03-1.41), and smoked 10-19 cigarettes a day (PR = 1.29; 95 % CI: 1.17-1.41) were more likely to report a desire to quit smoking. Number of daily smoked cigarettes, self-rated health, and psychological family climate were associated with the desire to quit
