目标。在生命历程视角的指导下，我们检查了是否存在与特定发育时期相关的不同吸烟可能性曲线的亚组。利用1997年全国青年纵向调查中4088名参与者的12波面板数据，我们通过发展轨迹模型分析发现了具有不同风险模式的亚组。从出生到29岁，72%的女性和74%的美国男性开始吸烟。我们发现了4个具有不同性别风险模式的独特组：青春期前风险组在12岁开始吸烟，青少年风险组在18岁开始吸烟，青壮年风险组在25岁开始吸烟，低风险组随着时间的推移很少或没有风险。各组在几个病因和结局变量上存在差异。从出生到成年早期开始吸烟的过程是不均匀的，有不同的亚组，其开始吸烟的风险与生命历程的特定阶段有关。
Objectives. Guided by the life-course perspective, we examined whether there were subgroups with different likelihood curves of smoking onset associated with specific developmental periods.Methods. Using 12 waves of panel data from 4088 participants in the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997, we detected subgroups with distinctive risk patterns by employing developmental trajectory modeling analysis.Results. From birth to age 29 years, 72% of female and 74% of US males initiated smoking. We detected 4 exclusive groups with distinctive risk patterns for both genders: the Pre-Teen Risk Group initiated smoking by age 12 years, the Teenage Risk Group initiated smoking by age 18 years, the Young Adult Risk Group initiated smoking by age 25 years, and the Low Risk Group experienced little or no risk over time. Groups differed on several etiological and outcome variables.Conclusions. The process of smoking initiation from birth to young adulthood is nonhomogeneous, with distinct subgroups whose risk of smoking onset is linked to specific stages in the life course.
