| Résumé : | [BDSP. Notice produite par INIST R0xuClkA. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. A cross-sectional survey was conducted by the Belgian Lung and Tuberculosis Association (BELTA) in 1998 in a randomly selected sample of 4643 Belgian physicians and the results were compared with those of a similar survey conducted in 1983 among 3205 physicians. Both studies were founded on self-completed questionnaires with no biological validation of the smoking status. In 1998, the response rate was 64.8% for questions about the smoking and personal status, but 35.9% only for the other items. Among the responders 17.3% were current, 28.7% former and 54.0% never smokers. With age, the rate of never smokers decreased and that of former smokers increased, whereas the rate of current smokers showed a symmetrical distribution forage. More male than female physicians were smoking : 19.4% versus 11.3% (p<0.001). No major differences in smoking rates were noted between GP's, certified specialists, specialists in training and other physicians. Among smokers, 61.6% were smoking daily and 38.4% occasionally ; 62.0% smoked cigarettes and 44.4% other tobacco products. The median cigarette consumption was 12 per day for daily smokers ; the Fagerström nicotine dependence test (FNDT) of smokers was very low (median value=1). Of former smokers 92.5% had quitted by personal decision only, but 52.7% reported unsuccessful earlier quit attempts. (...) |
