背景资料：描述日内瓦按性别分列的吸烟习惯的最新演变情况，在那里，男性肺癌发病率一直在下降，但女性的发病率却在上升。对一般成人进行连续横断面监测（35 - 74岁）人口的日内瓦，瑞士11年（1993 - 2003）使用当地有效的吸烟问卷，产生了12，271人的代表性随机样本结果：在两种性别中，当前吸烟的流行率在11年期间保持稳定，约为男性的三分之一和女性的四分之一，尽管近年来吸烟开始于更早的年龄。老年男性比老年女性更有可能曾经吸烟。年轻的男性，但不是女性，往往戒烟在较早的age.Conclusion：这种连续的（1993 - 2003年）的风险因素监测系统，在欧洲独特的，显示稳定的吸烟率在两种性别。然而，从不吸烟和以前吸烟的年龄别流行率以及开始吸烟的年龄别流行率之间的鲜明对比表明，吸烟在男子中继续呈长期下降趋势，但在妇女中仍未达到高峰。
Background: Describe the recent evolution of cigarette smoking habits by gender in Geneva, where incidence rates of lung cancer have been declining in men but increasing in women.Methods: Continuous cross-sectional surveillance of the general adult ( 35 - 74 yrs) population of Geneva, Switzerland for 11 years ( 1993 - 2003) using a locally-validated smoking questionnaire, yielding a representative random sample of 12,271 individuals ( 6,164 men, 6,107 women).Results: In both genders, prevalence of current cigarette smoking was stable over the 11-year period, at about one third of men and one quarter of women, even though smoking began at an earlier age in more recent years. Older men were more likely to be former smokers than older women. Younger men, but not women, tended to quit smoking at an earlier age.Conclusion: This continuous ( 1993 - 2003) risk factor surveillance system, unique in Europe, shows stable prevalence of smoking in both genders. However, sharp contrasts in age-specific prevalence of never and former smoking and of ages at smoking initiation indicate that smoking continues a long-term decline in men but has still not reached its peak in women.
