چکیده
مقدمه: استعمال سیگار، افراد را در خطر بالاتری از ابتلا به بیماری‌های مختلف و به‌ویژه بیماری‌های تنفسی قرار می‌دهد، مطالعه حاضر همبستگی شیوع استعمال سیگار با چند شاخص‌ کووید-19 را بررسی کرد.
روش کار: 154 کشور که تا 31 دسامبر 2021 داده‌های مربوط به شیوع استعمال سیگار در جمعیت 10 ساله و بالاتر و شاخص‌های کووید-19 آنها شامل میزان بروز تجمعی، میزان تجمعی مرگ، میزان کشندگی و تعداد تست‌های انجام شده و درآمد موجود بود؛ وارد مطالعه اکولوژیک شدند. همبستگی شیوع استعمال سیگار و شاخص‌های کووید-19 برآورد گردید.
یافته‌ها: تحلیل داده‌های 154 کشور نشان داد شیوع استعمال سیگار با میزان بروز تجمعی (58/0=r)، میزان تجمعی مرگ (53/0=r) و تست‌های انجام شده (53/0=r) همبستگی معنی‌داری دارد (001/0>P)؛ درحالیکه همبستگی آن با میزان کشندگی معنی‌دار نبود (05/0<P). پس از گروهبندی کشورها بر اساس درآمد، شیوع استعمال سیگار و میزان بروز تجمعی در کشورهای با درآمد بالا (40/0=r)، درآمد متوسط بالا (41/0=r) و درآمد متوسط پایین (52/0=r) همبستگی مثبت و معنی‌داری داشت (05/0>P). همچنین، همبستگی مثبت معنی‌داری بین شیوع استعمال سیگار و میزان تجمعی مرگ در کشورهای با درآمد بالا (59/0=r)، درآمد متوسط پایین (43/0=r) و درآمد پایین (41/0=r) برآورد گردید. همبستگی میان شیوع استعمال سیگار و میزان کشندگی نیز فقط در کشورهای با درآمد بالا (41/0=r) و درآمد متوسط بالا (42/0=r) معنی‌دار بود (05/0>P).
نتیجه گیری: با توجه به همبستگی مثبت میان شیوع استعمال سیگار و شاخص‌های کووید-19، سیاست‌گزاران سلامت باید راهکارهای مداخله‌ای را برای کاهش استعمال سیگار اتخاذ نمایند.

چکیده English

Introduction: Smoking puts the people at a higher risk of various diseases, especially respiratory diseases. The current study investigated the association between smoking prevalence and several indices of COVID-19.
Materials and Methods: In this ecological study, 154 countries with available databases up to December 31, 2021, containing age-standardized daily smoking prevalence, COVID-19 indices including cumulative incidence rate, cumulative rate of death, case fatality rate, and a number of COVID-19 testes were included. The correlations were determined between the smoking prevalence and the indices of COVID-19.
Results: The analysis of data from 154 countries showed that the smoking prevalence has a significant correlation (P>0.001) with cumulative incidence rate of case (r=0.58), cumulative death rate (r=0.53) and performed diagnostic tests (r=0.53); while its correlation with case fatality rate was not significant (P<0.05). After categorization countries based on income, the smoking prevalence and the cumulative incidence rate in countries with high income (r=0.40), high middle income (r=0.41) and low middle income (r=0.52) has a positive and significant correlation (P<0.05). Also, a significant positive correlation was estimated between the smoking prevalence and the cumulative death rate in countries with high income (r=0.59), low middle income (r=0.43) and low income (r=0.41). The correlation between the smoking prevalence and the case fatality rate was also significant (P<0.05) only in countries with high income (r=0.41) and high middle income (r=0.42).
Conclusion: Considering the positive correlation between the smoking prevalence and the indicators of covid-19, health policymakers should adopt intervention strategies to reduce smoking.
