目的探讨在性别赋权程度高的国家，女性与男性的吸烟率是否也较高。方法采用双变量和多元回归分析，探讨联合国开发计划署性别赋权措施（GEM）与男女吸烟率（根据2008年世界卫生组织全球烟草控制报告计算）之间的关系。由于一个国家在烟草流行的各个阶段的进展及其性别吸烟比率（GSA）被认为受到其发展水平的影响，我们也探讨了这种相关性，根据人均国民总收入（GNI）和收入不平等（基尼系数）来定义经济发展。GSA与GEM呈显著正相关(r = 0.680
Objective To determine whether in countries with high gender empowerment the female-to-male smoking prevalence ratio is also higher.Methods Bivariate and multiple regression analyses were performed to explore the relation between the United Nations Development Programme's gender empowerment measure (GEM) and the female-to-male smoking prevalence ratio (calculated from the 2008 WHO global tobacco control report). Because a country's progression through the various stages of the tobacco epidemic and its gender smoking ratio (GSA) are thought to be influenced by its level of development, we explored this correlation as well, with economic development defined in terms of gross national income (GNI) per capita and income inequality (Gini coefficient).Findings The GSA was significantly and positively correlated with the GEM (r = 0.680; P
