Smoking epidemics and socio-economic predictors of regular use and cessation: Findings from WHO STEPS risk factor surveys in Vietnam and Indonesia

Smoking epidemics and socio-economic predictors of regular use and cessation : Findings from WHO STEPS risk factor surveys in Vietnam and Indonesia

paper is accepted for publication
A population-based surveys were carried out in two demographic surveillance sites (DSSs) in Vietnam and Indonesia using the WHO STEPS approach to surveillance of non-communicable disease risk factors in order to characterize smoking epidemics in rural communities of Vietnam and Indonesia by identifying associations between socio-economic status and changes in smoking status among adult populations. The paper reveals that the prevalence of smoking among people aged 25-54 years was higher in Indonesia than in Vietnam. Indonesian men started smoking regularly earlier and ceased less than Vietnamese men. While low income was found to be a significant predictor of becoming regular smokers in Vietnam, old birth cohort and low education significantly increased the probability of being a regular smoker in Indonesia. Economic status was also found to be a significant predictor of smoking cessation in Vietnam while education and occupation played an important role in Indonesia
