“…The migrants engaged in construction sector have more likelihood to smoke than the other sectors. It is consistent with the general conclusion that smoking behavior is more prevalence among the construction rural workers due to its high stress job [8].The migrants engaging in over-time job are at a higher level of risk for cigarette smoking, which implies that over-time work may induce a high level of psychosocial stress and high rates of mental problems for migrant workers, which in turn increase the susceptibility to cigarette smoking.…”

“…However, a large part of them are highly susceptible to smoking [5][6][7]. A rich array of studies has explored the determinants of rural migrants' smoking prevalence [8]. Most previous researches have consistently concluded that life and work stress are main determinants for the smoking prevalence of rural migrants [9,10], where the life and work stress include but not are limited to low-quality employment, poor living conditions, unequal public service ,maladaptation to urban life and so on [9,10,[12][13][14].…”

Background: With Hukou constraints, a large proportion of rural migrants have to leave part of their family members stay at hometown, the split household may induce smoking behavior among rural migrants in destination cites.Objective: This study aims to address association between split household and smoking behavior, while the main discussion is to explore the differences between the three forms of split households---involving sole migration, couple migration, and family migration.Method: A unique and comprehensive database named Rural Urban Migration in China (RUMiC-2009) is applied to explore the association between split household and the smoking behavior; Analyses are conducted using the Chi-square tests and Logit regression.Results: The prevalence of smoking among family migrants (23.54%) is less than those sole migrants (25.46%) and couple migrants (35.13%). The family migrants (OR= 0.7445; 95% CI= 0.5955, 0.930) and couple migrants (OR= 0.8785; 95% CI= 0.6939, 1.1121) are less prone to smoke than the sole migrants counterparts. The family migrants (Coefficient= -0.0787; CI= -0.1229,-0.0346) and couple migrants (Coefficient= -0.0726; CI= -0.1188,-0.0264) show lower lever of depression compared with the sole migration groups.Conclusions: Split household is positively associated with the smoking behavior of rural migrants. While the depression may play as the potential transmission channel linked the spit household and smoking prevalence.

“…Tobacco is a habit originating in cities [45,46] and so elder participants in the current sample who live in villages at high elevation tend to be non-smokers. Chromosomal changes that can cause NPB and NB become more frequent with age [4].…”

Structure of Relations Between the Frequency of Micronuclei in Peripheral Blood Lymphocytes and Age, Gender, Smoking Habits and Socio-Demographic Factors in South-East Region of Serbia

Frequency of micronuclei (MN) in peripheral blood lymphocytes is a measure of genotoxicity and spontaneous chromosomal instability with many modifying factors. The aim of this work was to examine the relation between results of micronucleus test and set of socio-demographic parameters in healthy population in south-east Serbia using structure equation approach. Cytokinesis–block (CB) technique was used for analysis of MN frequency in peripheral blood lymphocytes on 133 healthy volunteers of various ages. Socio-demographic data was collected through a questionnaire. The mean frequency of MN gradually rose with age from 0.56±0.71 in new-borns to 5.48 ±3.65 in the 61-80 years age group (AG), with a decrease in the 81-92 years AG. MN frequency was positively correlated with age, altitude of birth place, altitude of place of residence, nuclear buds and nucleoplasmatic bridges, and negatively with education level and smoking habits. Linear structural model revealed age to be related to all of the examined variables, and indicates probable existence of another factor, independent of age, influencing all of these except nuclear buds. It can be concluded that the frequency of micronuclei is influenced by age and factor/s resembling socioeconomic status or lifestyle and this influence is independent of age.

“…The smoking rate among women was also slightly lower than that in the general population (46.71% for Chinese men and 5.34% for Chinese women) [7]. Recently, the morbidity and mortality of CVD and cerebrovascular diseases have decreased in America [22] as a result of good control of CVD risk factors, of which decreased smoking rate is an important one.…”

“…Lifestyle factors like smoking and alcohol consumption are also well known to increase the risk of CVD and cerebrovascular disease. Chinese women smoke less than women in the West [7], and they also have lower prevalence of alcohol dependence [8]. However, metabolic control in Chinese women with T2DM has not been clearly elucidated, and it remains largely unknown whether the risk of CVD and cerebrovascular disease in women with T2DM is higher than that in men with T2DM.…”

Coronary heart disease (CHD) and stroke are common complications of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). We aimed to explore the differences in the risks of CHD and stroke between Chinese women and men with T2DM and their association with metabolic syndrome (MS). This study included 1514 patients with T2DM. The Asian Guidelines of ATPIII (2005) were used for MS diagnosis, and the UKPDS risk engine was used to evaluate the 10-year CHD and stroke risks. Women had lower CHD risk (15.3% versus 26.3%), fatal CHD risk (11.8% versus 19.0%), stroke risk (8.4% versus 10.3%), and fatal stroke risk (1.4% versus 1.6%) compared with men with T2DM (p < 0.05–0.001). The CHD risk (28.4% versus 22.6%, p < 0.001) was significantly higher in men with MS than in those without MS. The CHD (16.2% versus 11.0%, p < 0.001) and stroke risks (8.9% versus 5.8%, p < 0.001) were higher in women with MS than in those without MS. In conclusion, our findings indicated that Chinese women with T2DM are less susceptible to CHD and stroke than men. Further, MS increases the risk of both these events, highlighting the need for comprehensive metabolic control in T2DM.

The Prevalence of Cigarette Smoking Among Rural-to-Urban Migrants in China: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Abstract: Cigarette smoking is still prevalent among rural-to-urban migrants, which may be influenced by gender and occupations. Policies should be designed and conducted to control smoking prevalence among these populations.
