Abstract

Background: Recently, the use of cigarettes and e-cigarettes rises among Korean adults. This study examined between-groups differences in depression and sleep quality based on smoking/vaping status. Methods: The groups were classified into non-users, cigarette users, and dual-users according to the present use of cigarettes and e-cigarettes. Data from the 2018 Korean Community Health Survey (KCHS) were used in this study. The participants were 153,646 adults aged > 19cyears. Results: One-way analysis of covariance models showed that dual-users reported significantly higher depression scores (PHQ-9) and significantly lower sleep quality (PSQI-K), respectively, than did cigarette users and non-users. Conclusions: These results imply that dual-use can have a negative impact on mental health. This study supports previous studies on the harmfulness of dual-use and suggests that more studies related to the dual-use of cigarettes should be conducted in the future.

摘要

背景：最近，韩国成年人对香烟和电子烟的使用有所增加。这项研究检查了基于吸烟/电子烟状态的抑郁和睡眠质量的组间差异。方法：根据目前使用卷烟和电子烟的情况，将人群分为非吸烟者、吸烟者和双重用户。本研究使用了 2018 年韩国社区健康调查 (KCHS) 的数据。参与者是 153,646 名年龄 > 19 岁的成年人。结果：协方差模型的单向分析表明，与吸烟者和非吸烟者相比，双重用户报告的抑郁评分 (PHQ-9) 和睡眠质量 (PSQI-K) 分别显着更高。结论：这些结果意味着双重用途会对心理健康产生负面影响。本研究支持以往关于卷烟两用危害的研究，并建议未来应开展更多与卷烟两用相关的研究。
