这项研究的目的是描述美国人群中的非吸烟者暴露于二手烟（SHS），使用14年（1988年10月至2002年12月）期间测量的血清可替宁浓度。这项研究包括一系列国家健康和营养检查调查（NHANES），测量血清可替宁作为参与者SHS暴露的指数。研究参与者是美国平民、非机构化人群的代表，年龄≥ 4岁。我们分析了血清可替宁和访谈数据从NHANES在四个不同的时间段进行的调查期间获得的。我们的研究结果表明，在此期间，非吸烟者血清可替宁浓度大幅下降约70%。这一下降反映在人群中的所有组中，不分年龄、性别或人种/种族。我们观察到的血清可替宁浓度的大幅下降表明，20世纪90年代美国人群对SHS的暴露量大幅减少。非吸烟者暴露于SHS是一个重要的公共卫生问题。我们的研究结果表明，最近的公共卫生努力，以减少这种接触有一个重要的影响，虽然儿童和非西班牙裔黑人不吸烟者显示相对较高的血清可替宁水平。
The objective of this study was to describe the exposure of nonsmokers in the U.S. population to secondhand smoke (SHS) using serum cotinine concentrations measured over a period of 14 years, from October 1988 through December 2002. This study consists of a series of National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys (NHANES) measuring serum cotinine as an index of SHS exposure of participants. Study participants were individuals representative of the U.S. civilian, noninstitutionalized population, ≥ 4 years of age. We analyzed serum cotinine and interview data from NHANES obtained during surveys conducted during four distinct time periods. Our results document a substantial decline of approximately 70% in serum cotinine concentrations in non-smokers during this period. This decrease was reflected in all groups within the population regardless of age, sex, or race/ethnicity. The large decrease that we observed in serum cotinine concentrations suggests a substantial reduction in the exposure of the U.S. population to SHS during the 1990s. The exposure of nonsmokers to SHS represents an important public health concern. Our findings suggest that recent public health efforts to reduce such exposures have had an important effect, although children and non-Hispanic black nonsmokers show relatively higher levels of serum cotinine.
