目的：估计患病率，社会经济和人口统计学的相关性咀嚼无烟烟草消费之间的男性在India.DESIGN：一个横截面，全国代表性的人口为基础的住户survey.SUBJECTS：74,369名男性年龄在15-54岁的人在全国家庭健康调查-3（2005-2006）抽样。烟草消费的数据，从男性成员的家庭选定的study.MATERIALS和METHODS：目前使用的各种无烟烟草的流行率作为结果的措施。简单和双向交叉表和单因素Logistic回归分析的主要分析方法。结果：百分之三十四的研究人群（15岁或以上）使用咀嚼无烟烟草。无烟烟草消费量显着较高的穷人，教育程度较低，预定种姓，和预定部落人口。烟草消费的流行程度因类型而异。咀嚼的患病率也有很大的不同国家之间的差异，并有很强的关联与个人的sociocultural characteristics.CONCLUSION：研究结果强调，议程，以改善印度穷人的健康状况，必须包括有效的干预措施，以控制烟草的使用。如果不这样做，很可能会导致印度大量穷人的疾病负担加倍，包括传染性和非传染性疾病。有必要进行定期调查，使用更加一致的烟草使用定义，并收集关于消费的不同类型烟草的信息。
OBJECTIVE: To estimate the prevalence, the socioeconomic and demographic correlates of chewable smokeless tobacco consumption among males in India.DESIGN: A cross-sectional, nationally representative population-based household survey.SUBJECTS: 74,369 males aged 15-54 years who were sampled in the National Family Health Survey-3 (2005-2006). Data on tobacco consumption were elicited from male members in households selected for the study.MATERIALS AND METHODS: The prevalence of various smokeless tobacco use currently was used as outcome measures. Simple and two-way cross tabulations and univariate logistic regression analysis were the main analytical methods.RESULTS: Thirty-four percent of the study population (15 years or older) used chewable smokeless tobacco. Smokeless tobacco consumption was significantly higher in poor, less educated, scheduled castes, and scheduled tribe populations. The prevalence of tobacco consumption showed variation with types. The prevalence of chewing also varied widely between different states and had a strong association with an individual's sociocultural characteristics.CONCLUSION: The findings of the study highlight that an agenda to improve the health outcomes among the poor in India must include effective interventions to control tobacco use. Failure to do so would most probably result in doubling the burden of diseases-both communicable and noncommunicable-among India's teeming poor. There is a need for periodical surveys using more consistent definitions of tobacco use and eliciting information on different types of tobacco consumed.
