目的：研究印度孟买市烟草使用的多样性和社会人口学特征。设计：1992-94年间，孟买市以人口为基础的横断面入户调查和面对面访谈。数据直接输入编程的手持计算机(电子日记)。对象：35岁及以上的孟买市常住居民。主要观察指标：各种吸烟和不吸烟形式的烟草使用。结果：99598人被访问(60%的女性，40%的男性)。在女性中，烟草使用率很高(57.5%)，但几乎完全是无烟形式。在男性中，69.3%的人报告目前使用烟草，23.6%的人吸烟。在女性中最常见的无烟烟草做法是使用Mishri(44.5%的无烟者)，在男性中使用槟榔和烟草(27.1%)。大约一半的吸烟者使用BIDI，一半吸烟者吸烟。嚼不含烟草的槟榔很少(0.5%的无烟者)。教育程度与除吸烟以外的所有类型的烟草使用呈负相关。结论：印度各地的烟草使用模式不同，在孟买，与其他地区非常不同。使用手持计算机在现场收集数据是成功的。
OBJECTIVES: To study the diversity and sociodemographic characteristics of tobacco use in Bombay, India.DESIGN: Population-based, cross-sectional, house-to-house survey with face-to-face interviews in the city of Bombay during 1992-94. Data was input directly into a programmed, handheld computer (electronic diary).PARTICIPANTS: Permanent residents of the city of Bombay aged 35 years and older.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Tobacco use in various smoking and smokeless forms.RESULTS: 99598 individuals were interviewed (60% women, 40% men). Among women, prevalence of tobacco use was high (57.5%) but almost solely in the smokeless form. Among men, 69.3% reported current tobacco use and 23.6% were smokers. The most common smokeless tobacco practice among women was mishri use (44.5% of smokeless users) and among men betel quid with tobacco (27.1%). About half of smokers used bidi and half smoked cigarettes. Chewing areca nut without tobacco was rare (< 0.5% of smokeless users). Educational level was inversely associated with tobacco use of all kinds except cigarette smoking.CONCLUSIONS: The pattern of tobacco use varies across India and, in Bombay, is very different from other areas. Using handheld computers to collect data in the field was successful.
