Abstract

Objectives

This study examined the association between tobacco smoke exposure (TSE) and temperament among children 0–5 years old overall and within age groups: 0–2 and 3–5 years.

Methods

Data were obtained from the 2017–2018 NSCH (N = 14,345). TSE status was defined as whether children lived with a smoker who: does not smoke inside the home (no home TSE) or smokes inside the home (home TSE). We conducted logistic regression analyses while controlling for covariates.

Results

Overall, 12.5% of children lived with a smoker with no home TSE and 1.1% had home TSE. Children with home TSE were at increased odds to not always: be affectionate and tender (aOR = 1.74, 95% CI = 1.18–2.58), show interest and curiosity (aOR = 1.81, 95% CI = 1.23–2.68), and smile and laugh (aOR = 1.77, 95% CI = 1.13–2.77) than those with no TSE. Among 0- to 2-year-olds, those with home TSE were more likely to not always be affectionate and tender (aOR = 1.97, 95% CI = 1.04–3.74). Among 3- to 5-year-olds, those who lived with a smoker with no home TSE were more likely to not always: bounce back quickly (aOR = 1.21, 95% CI = 1.05–1.40) and smile and laugh (aOR = 1.26, 95% CI = 1.03–1.54), and those with home TSE were more likely to not always: show interest and curiosity (aOR = 2.24, 95% CI = 1.40–3.59) and smile and laugh (aOR = 2.43, 95% CI = 1.43–4.11).

Conclusions

Tobacco smoke-exposed children were at increased odds of not always demonstrating positive early childhood temperament behaviors, with 3- to 5-year-olds having more pronounced odds.

美国 0-5 岁儿童接触烟草烟雾和气质

摘要

目标

本研究调查了 0-5 岁儿童和 0-2 岁和 3-5 岁年龄段儿童的烟草烟雾暴露 (TSE) 与气质之间的关联。

方法

数据来自 2017-2018 NSCH ( N  = 14,345  )。TSE 状态被定义为儿童是否与以下吸烟者住在一起：不在家里吸烟（没有家庭 TSE）或在家里吸烟（家庭 TSE）。我们在控制协变量的同时进行了逻辑回归分析。

结果

总体而言，12.5% 的儿童与吸烟者住在一起，没有家庭 TSE，1.1% 有家庭 TSE。患有家庭 TSE 的儿童不总是：深情和温柔 (aOR = 1.74, 95% CI = 1.18–2.58)、表现出兴趣和好奇心 (aOR = 1.81, 95% CI = 1.23–2.68) 和微笑并且笑（aOR = 1.77，95% CI = 1.13–2.77）比没有 TSE 的人大。在 0 至 2 岁的儿童中，患有家庭 TSE 的儿童更有可能并不总是深情和温柔（aOR = 1.97，95% CI = 1.04–3.74）。在 3 至 5 岁的儿童中，那些与吸烟者一起生活且没有家庭 TSE 的儿童更有可能并不总是：迅速恢复（aOR = 1.21，95% CI = 1.05-1.40）和微笑和大笑（aOR = 1.26, 95% CI = 1.03–1.54)，而那些患有 TSE 的人更有可能并不总是：表现出兴趣和好奇心 (aOR = 2.24, 95% CI = 1.40–3.59) 以及微笑和大笑 (aOR = 2.43, 95 % CI = 1。

结论

接触烟草烟雾的儿童并不总是表现出积极的幼儿气质行为的可能性增加，3 至 5 岁的儿童的可能性更大。
