目的研究美国成年吸烟者吸薄荷烟的模式和相关因素。设计将2003年和2006/07年烟草使用补充资料纳入当前人口调查，收集当前成年吸烟者的横断面数据（n = 63193）。社会人口学和吸烟变量之间的关联通过性别和种族/民族分层多元逻辑回归模型进行检验，预测当前薄荷烟的使用情况。多因素logistic回归分析显示，黑人吸烟者吸薄荷烟的可能性是白人男性吸烟者的10-11倍：优势比（OR）： 11.59, 99%可信区间（CI）： 9.79-13.72；女性：OR: 10.12, 99% CI: 8.45-12.11)。除了美国印第安人/阿留申人/爱斯基摩人吸烟者外，非白人吸烟者比白人吸烟者更有可能抽薄荷烟。与吸烟相关的其他重要因素包括未婚（从未结婚：OR: 1.21, 99% CI: 1.09-1.34；离婚/分居：OR: 1.13, 99% CI: 1.03-1.23），出生在美国领土（OR: 2.01, 99% CI: 1.35-3.01），居住在非大都市地区（OR: 0.87, 99% CI: 0.80-0.96），失业（OR: 1.24, 99% CI: 1.06-1.44）和教育水平较低。种族/民族分层分析显示，女性比男性更有可能吸薄荷烟。在黑人吸烟者中，年轻人（18-24岁）吸薄荷烟的可能性是65岁以上人群的四倍。结论：种族/民族、性别和年龄是当前吸烟者吸薄荷烟的显著相关因素。鉴于薄荷醇在卷烟市场上的重要性以及这种添加剂对健康的潜在不利影响，有必要继续监测不同社会人口群体中薄荷醇卷烟使用的流行情况及其相关关系，以便为适当的干预措施提供信息。
Aim To examine the patterns and correlates of mentholated cigarette smoking among adult smokers in the United States. Design Cross-sectional data on adult current smokers (n = 63 193) were pooled from the 2003 and 2006/07 Tobacco Use Supplements to the Current Population Survey. Measurements The associations between socio-demographic and smoking variables were examined with gender-and race/ethnicity-stratified multivariate logistic regression models predicting current use of mentholated cigarettes. Findings Multivariate logistic regression analyses demonstrated that black smokers were 10-11 times more likely to smoke mentholated cigarettes than white smokers men: odds ratio (OR): 11.59, 99% confidence interval (CI): 9.79-13.72; women: OR: 10.12, 99% CI: 8.45-12.11). With the exception of American Indian/Aleut/Eskimo smokers, non-white smokers were significantly more likely to smoke mentholated cigarettes than were white smokers. Additional significant factors associated with mentholated cigarette smoking included being unmarried (never married: OR: 1.21, 99% CI: 1.09-1.34; divorced/separated: OR: 1.13, 99% CI: 1.03-1.23), being born in a US territory (OR: 2.01, 99% CI: 1.35-3.01), living in a non-metropolitan area (OR: 0.87, 99% CI: 0.80-0.96), being unemployed (OR: 1.24, 99% CI: 1.06-1.44) and lower levels of education. Race/ethnicity-stratified analyses showed that women were more likely than men to smoke mentholated cigarettes. Among black smokers, young adults (aged 18-24 years) were four times more likely to smoke mentholated cigarettes compared with individuals aged 65+. Conclusions Race/ethnicity, gender and age are significant correlates of mentholated cigarette smoking among current smokers. Given the importance of menthol in the cigarette market and the potential untoward health effects of this additive, continued surveillance of the prevalence and correlates of mentholated cigarette use among diverse socio-demographic groups is warranted to inform appropriate interventions.
