Abstract

Diverses études ont trouvé une association entre le niveau scolaire et la fréquence du tabagisme. Moins d'information existe sur l'influence de ces deux données, du niveau scolaire et de l'environnement du travail, sur le tabagisme dans un groupe de 20527 scolaires (59.5% femmes; 40.5% hommes) recruté dans 27 centres de formation professionelle en Allemagne. Dans ce groupe (77.3% de réponses) un questionnaire standardisé sur l'usage du tabagisme a été qppliqué. L'analyse démontre une prévalence élevée de fumeurs chez les hommes (51.2%) et les femmes (49.4%). Les fumeurs sont particulièrement nombreux parmi les personnes plus âgées et dans les professions suivantes: coiffure, boucher, peintre, personnel de service (hôtel, restaurant, personnel de magasin, cuisinier). La régression logistique révèle que la prévalence du tabagisme est la plus haute dans le groupe charactérisé par le niveau scolaire le plus bas (prévalence odds ratio: 5.19 chez les hommes et 4.56 chez les femmes, en ayant controlé les effets de la catégorie professionelle, de l'âge, du sexe et du milieu urbain ou rural). Cet effet est encore plus prononcé en cas de l'intensité du tabagisme: le risque de fumer plus de 20 cigarettes par jour est 9 fois plus élevé parmi les hommes characterisés par le niveau de formation scolaire le plus bas, et plus de 13 fois plus élevé parmi les femmes de cette catégorie d'éducation. En conclusion, un niveau bas de formation scolaire est considéré comme facteur de risque du tabagisme parmi les ccolaires professionels. Des efforts de prévention devraien être dirigés vers ces groupes vulnérables. Copyright Birkhäuser Verlag 1998
