In 2014, Qingdao Was Attributed To The Disease Burden Of Smoking

Objective:This study is to analyze the characteristics and trends of health status,monitor the status of smoking,to assess the population smoking attributable fraction and smoking-attributable mortality,to obtain the influence of smoking on life expectancy,to evaluate the diseases burden attributable to smoking in Qingdao in order to provide the evidence for stimulating decision-making about implementation and enforcement of tobacco control.Methods:This study estimated the population-attributable Fractions(PAFs)of smoking,the all-cause mortality and the loss of life expectancy attributable to smoking in 2014 of Qingdao.PARs were calculated using the smoking impact ratio(SIR)or current smoking rate(P)and relative risk(RR).We determined the smoking-attributable mortality by multiplying the smoking-attributable fraction by the total mortality.This study used the method of an abridged life table to calculate the loss of life expectancy caused by smoking.Results:Smoking caused about 8635 deaths(6883 males,1752 females),and accounted for 15.98% of all deaths;22.30% in males and 7.56% in females.The leading causes of deaths attributable to smoking were lung cancer,ischemic heart disease and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD).The PAF for cancer,respiratory diseases and cardiovascular disease were 30%,43% and 14% respectively.Tobacco use may cause a reduction of about 2.01 years of the loss of life expectancy;3 years in males and 0.87 years in femalesConclusion: Smoking caused about 8635 deaths,and accounted for 15.98% of all deaths.Cancer became the leading cause of deaths attributable to smoking in Qingdao.The leading causes of deaths attributable to smoking were lung cancer,ischemic heart disease and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD).
