在英国的老年人中,吸烟率保持稳定,与年轻人不同. 电子烟在这个人口群体中显示出戒烟的有效性,尽管对其危害的不确定性更高,吸收率更低.
科学领域:
- 公共卫生研究 公共卫生研究
- 老年学是指老年学的学科.
- 控制烟草的控制方式
背景情况:
- 调查了英格兰65岁以上成年人的吸烟和电子烟趋势.
- 检查电子烟与传统香烟的危害感知.
- 评估了电子烟在老年人戒烟方面的实际有效性.
研究的目的:
- 在老年人 (≥65岁) 中描述烟草吸烟和电子烟的模式.
- 为了探索老年吸烟者对电子烟的危害感知.
- 评估电子烟在帮助老年人戒烟方面的有效性.
主要方法:
- 利用英格兰一个代表性的每月横截面家庭调查 (2014年4月至2024年4月,n=197,219).
- 分析了吸烟和电子烟的时间趋势,将老年人 (≥65) 与年轻人 (18-64岁) 进行比较.
- 评估危害感知和戒烟有效性,调整相关的人口和行为因素.
主要成果:
- 在老年人中,吸烟率保持稳定 (~9%),与年轻人的下降形成鲜明对比.
- 电子烟在两组中都增加,但在老年人中增速较慢.
- 年长的吸烟者认为电子烟比普通香烟更有害,并且不太可能使用它们戒烟,尽管电子烟显示出潜在的有效性 (ORadj=1.50).
结论:
- 在老年英国成年人中,吸烟率稳定,与年轻人不同.
- 老年人对电子烟的危害存在更大的不确定性,对戒烟的采用率较低.
- 电子烟在老年人中证明了戒烟的有效性,因此需要进一步调查电子烟在这个人口群体中的作用.

Drugs Acting on Autonomic Ganglia: Stimulants
Ganglionic stimulants activate NM nicotinic receptors in autonomic ganglia, falling into two categories: nicotine mimetics [e.g., lobeline, dimethylpiperazine, tetramethylammonium] and muscarinic receptor agonists [e.g., muscarine, methacholine]. The first category's action is rapid and blocked by nicotinic receptor antagonists, while the second category's action is delayed and blocked by atropine-like agents. Nicotine, an alkaloid, affects the heart rate by stimulating...
