| Popis: | Objective To examine the prevalence and correlates of smoking versus tobacco chewing, and potential gender differences in tobacco use among HIV-infected individuals in a rural community in Yunnan Province, China. Method A cross-sectional design using face-to-face interviews. Results Among the participants, 301 (66.2%) were male; 79 (17.4%) were ethnic Han, 310 (68.1%) were Jingpo minority, 62 (13.6%) were Dai minority; 17.8% had no formal education and 55.6% had only primary school education; 15.4% were never married; 40% reported drinking in the past 30 days; 55.4% had ever used drugs; and 67% were currently receiving antiretroviral therapy (ART). The mean age of the study participants was 38.1 years (SD = 8.8). About 62% were current cigarette smokers. Current cigarette smoking was positively associated with being male (OR = 142.43, 95% CI: 35.61–569.72) and current drinking (OR = 7.64, 95% CI: 2.68–21.81), as well as having ever used drugs (OR = 4.03, 95% CI: 1.31–12.35). Among current smokers, 67.6% were heavy smokers (smoked at least 20 cigarettes per day). Those who were older than 46 years of age (OR = 9.68, 95% CI: 1.41–66.59) and current drinkers (OR = 2.75, 95% CI: 1.56–4.83) were more likely to be heavy smokers. Approximately 9% were currently used chewing tobacco. Those who were female (OR = 41.29, 95% CI: 8.53–199.93) and current drinkers (OR = 3.22, 95% CI: 1.02–10.16) were more likely to use chewing tobacco. All who used chewing tobacco were ethnic minorities. Conclusions Cigarette smoking and use of chewing tobacco were highly prevalent among HIV-infected individuals in rural Yunnan, underscoring the urgent need for tobacco prevention and intervention programs tailored for this population. |
