0125/2017 - Experimentação de tabaco e fatores associados entre adolescentes da zona rural de vitória da conquista, BA, Brasil. Tobacco experiment and factors associated among adolescentsthe rural area of vitória da conquista, BA, Brazil.
Objetivo: Descrever a experimentação do tabaco e fatores associados em adolescentes da zona rural do sudoeste da Bahia. Métodos: Este foi um recorte da pesquisa Adolescer, do tipo seccional, em 2015, com 390 adolescentes. Os dados foram analisados através de medidas de frequência e qui-quadrado; e regressão de Poisson, com variância robusta, para estimar as razões de prevalências (RP) para a experimentação do tabaco em relação às variáveis explicativas. Resultados: Dos adolescentes, 5,1% experimentaram cigarro alguma vez na vida e 0,3% faziam uso regular. Mostraram-se associados à experimentação: sexo masculino (RP=6,46); ter tido relação sexual alguma vez na vida (RP=20,55); ter pais que raramente ou nunca entenderem os seus problemas (RP=7,89); ter 3 ou mais amigos (RP=0,10). Conclusões: Apesar das baixas prevalências de experimentação do tabaco e do seu uso regular, que indicam a adoção de um estilo de vida mais saudável ou ainda uma maior autonomia e capacidade de decisão para o não consumo, sabe-se que não existe nível seguro de exposição ao tabaco. Sugere-se o estabelecimento de parceria intersetorial educação-saúde para fortalecer ações de promoção da saúde e prevenção de doenças, com ênfase no tabagismo.

Abstract:
Objective: To describe the tobacco experimentation and associated factors in adolescentsrural southwestern Bahia. Methods: This was a clipping of Adolescer research, a cross-sectional study in 2015, with 390 adolescents. Data were analyzed using measures of frequency and chi-square; and Poisson regression with robust variance to estimate the prevalence ratios (PR) for the tobacco experimentation in relation to the explanatory variables. Results: 5.1% Adolescents had ever smoked cigarettes and 0.3% had used them regularly. The following variables were associated with the experimentation: male gender (RP=6.46); having sexual intercourse once in life (RP=20.55); having parents whom rarely or never understand their problems (RP=7.89); having 3 or more friends (RP=0.10). Conclusions: Despite the low tobacco experimentation and regular use prevalence, which indicate the adoption of a healthier lifestyle or greater autonomy and decision-making ability for the non-consumption, it is known that there is no safe level of exposure to tobacco. It is suggested the establishment of intersectoral partnership between education and health to strengthen health promotion and disease prevention, with emphasis on smoking habits.
