Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Epidemiology
  • Preventive Medicine

Context:

  • Smoking prevalence remained stable in Spain between 1993-1997.
  • Age-adjusted death rates from smoking-related diseases were decreasing during the same period.
  • A need existed to quantify the specific burden of smoking-attributable mortality in Spain for 1998.

Purpose:

  • To estimate the total number of deaths attributable to smoking in Spain in 1998.
  • To determine the proportion of deaths linked to tobacco use in males and females.
  • To identify the primary causes of smoking-attributable mortality.

Summary:

  • In 1998, an estimated 55,613 deaths in Spain were attributed to smoking.
  • Approximately one in four male deaths and one in forty female deaths were linked to tobacco.

  • Lung cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, ischemic heart disease, and stroke accounted for two-thirds of these deaths.

    • Impact:

    • Smoking represents a substantial and avoidable cause of mortality in Spain.
    • The findings underscore the critical need for continued tobacco control interventions.
    • Smoking-attributable mortality may be on an increasing trend, necessitating urgent public health action.
