Overview

Retrospective cohort study found 24.5% prevalence of smoking in adult males, indicating significant health risks.

Key Points

  • The baseline prevalence of smoking among male adults was 24.5%, which decreased to 21% after follow-up.
  • Cumulative risk of smoking reached 45%, with highest rates in the 30-39 age group, indicating strong initiation patterns.
  • Determinants of smoking cessation included younger age and lower systolic blood pressure, impacting long-term health outcomes.
  • Continuing smokers faced higher risks of diabetes, stroke, and other serious health conditions, while cessation reduced these risks.
