RESUMO
O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a prevalência do uso de produtos derivados do tabaco e o perfil demográfico de mulheres fumantes no Paraná, Brasil. Foi um estudo transversal de base populacional com amostragem por cluster envolvendo 2.153 mulheres com 18 anos de idade ou mais em sete cidades. A prevalência do uso do tabaco fumado foi de 13,4% variando de 10% (Cascavel) a 19% (Irati). Na análise multivariada, cidade, estado civil e escolaridade foram significativamente associados ao uso do tabaco. Mulheres em Irati (OR = 2,08; IC95% 1,22-3,54) foram mais propensas a serem fumantes que mulheres em Cambé. As casadas ou viúvas foram menos propensas a serem fumantes (OR = 0,47; IC95% 0,30-0,73 e OR = 0,43; IC95% 0,22-0,87) que as solteiras. Mulheres em união estável foram mais propensas a serem fumantes que as solteiras (OR = 2,49; IC95% 1,12-5,53) e mulheres com curso superior foram menos propensas a serem fumantes que as com primeiro grau ou menos (OR = 0,41; IC95% 0,22-0,87). Estes resultados confirmam a necessidade de programas de controle do tabaco que levem em consideração as questões de gênero e regiões.
ABSTRACT
This study aimed to estimate the prevalence of tobacco use and to describe the demographic profile of female smokers in Paraná State, Brazil. The study used a cross-sectional population-based design with cluster sampling (n = 2,153) of women 18 years or older in seven cities. Prevalence of smoking was 13.4%, ranging from 10% in Cascavel to 19% in Irati. According to multivariate analysis, city of residence, marital status, and schooling were significantly associated with tobacco use. Women in Irati (OR = 2.08; 95%CI 1.22-3.54) were more likely to smoke than those in Cambé. Married women and widows were less likely to smoke (OR = 0.47; 95%CI 0.30-0.73 and OR = 0.43; 95%CI 0.22-0.87) than single women. Women living with a partner (but not married) were more likely to smoke than single women (OR = 2.49; 95%CI 1.12-5.53), and women with university degrees were less likely to smoke than those with eight years of school or less (OR = 0.41; 95%CI 0.22-0.87). The results confirm the need for tobacco control programs that take gender and regional differences into account.
