这项研究提供了印度经常使用烟草和酒精的全国估计数及其与性别，年龄和经济群体的关系，这些数据来自1995-96年对471，143名10岁以上的人进行的代表性调查，即全国抽样调查。全国经常吸烟的流行率估计为16.2%，咀嚼烟草为14.0%，酒精为4.5%。男性经常吸烟的可能性是女性的25.5倍，经常咀嚼烟草的可能性是女性的3.7倍，经常饮酒的可能性是女性的9.7倍。属于在册种姓和部落（公认的弱势群体）的受访者更有可能报告经常使用酒精以及吸烟和咀嚼烟草。与城市居民相比，来自农村地区的人的死亡率更高，没有受过正规教育的人也是如此。收入低于贫困线的人与高于贫困线的人相比，使用咀嚼烟草和酒精的相对几率更高。随着收入每减少一个五分位数，经常使用烟草和酒精的人数也显著增加。这些结果之间的比较，发现在美国和其他地方，强调有必要解决这些物质的公共卫生议程上的控制。(c)2004爱思唯尔爱尔兰有限公司保留所有权利。
This study provides national estimates of regular tobacco and alcohol use in India and their associations with gender, age, and economic group obtained from a representative survey of 471,143 people over the age of 10 years in 1995-96, the National Sample Survey. The national prevalence of regular use of smoking tobacco is estimated to be 16.2%, chewing tobacco 14.0%, and alcohol 4.5%. Men were 25.5 times more likely than women to report regular smoking, 3.7 times more likely to regularly chew tobacco, and 9.7 times more likely to regularly use alcohol. Respondents belonging to scheduled castes and tribes (recognized disadvantaged groups) were significantly more likely to report regular use of alcohol as well as smoking and chewing tobacco. People from rural areas had higher rates compared to urban dwellers, as did those with no formal education. Individuals with incomes below the poverty line had higher relative odds of use of chewing tobacco and alcohol compared to those above the poverty line. The regular use of both tobacco and alcohol also increased significantly with each diminishing income quintile. Comparisons are made between these results and those found in the United States and elsewhere, highlighting the need to address control of these substances on the public health agenda.
