Introduction. The exposure to environmental tobacco smoke is a public health problem because of its potential risks for children. Objective. To determine the preventive actions taken by parents and/or caregivers of infants, toddlers, and preschoolers regarding environmental tobacco smoke exposure. Methods. Cross-sectional, analytical study in parents and caregivers of infants, toddlers, and preschoolers from Valdivia, Chile. A questionnaire on preventive measures regarding environmental tobacco smoke was administered. The questionnaire was analyzed with descriptive and association statistics using Fisher's exact test and logistic regression to calculate the odds ratios (ORs) and their corresponding 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) as an estimation of the risk for not taking preventive measures at home. Results. A total of 469 parents and caregivers participated. The prevalence of households with one member who smoked was 51.8%. Most of them smoked outside the house (92.2%). The most common measure taken outside the household was to avoid places where people smoked. In this setting, a significant difference was observed between men and women in relation to avoiding exposure (7.6% versus 2.2%; p= 0.040). A higher risk for not avoiding tobacco use inside or outside the housewas confirmed when a household member smoked (OR: 3.55; 95% CI: 2.05-6.14). Also, a lower risk was observed when there were two or more children in the household (OR: 0.46; 95% CI: 0.26-0.83). Conclusions. Most parents and caregivers ask others to smoke outside and avoid places where people smoke; however, the level of prevention is lower among households with smokers.

“…14 A nivel internacional, en Suecia, se informó una prevalencia de 7% de consumo en hogares de lactantes; 18 en Canadá, 22% en hogares con niños 19 y, en Portugal, 36,7% en hogares con menores de 18 años. 20 En Argentina, por su parte, se encontró una prevalencia de exposición a HTA en el hogar de 27,6% de la población general. 21 Se estableció que casi todos los padres fumadores fumaban fuera del hogar, lo cual fue destacable, pues había evidencia de que esto disminuía la exposición a HTA por consumo intradomiciliario.…”

RESUMENIntroducción. La exposición a humo de tabaco ambiental constituye un problema de salud pública por sus potenciales riesgos en los niños. Objetivo. Determinar las acciones preventivas adoptadas por padres y/o cuidadores de lactantes y preescolares respecto de la exposición a humo de tabaco ambiental. Métodos. Estudio transversal analítico en padres y cuidadores de lactantes y preescolares escolarizados, residentes en la ciudad de Valdivia, Chile. Se aplicó un cuestionario sobre medidas preventivas del humo de tabaco ambiental. Se analizó con estadística descriptiva y de asociación usando el test exacto de Fisher y la regresión logística para calcular odds ratio (OR) y sus respectivos intervalos de confianza del 95% (IC95%) como estimación de riesgo de no adopción de medidas preventivas en el hogar. Resultados. Participaron 469 padres y cuidadores. La prevalencia de hogares con un miembro fumador fue 51,8%. La mayoría fumaba fuera del hogar (92,2%). La medida más adoptada fuera del hogar fue evitar lugares con gente fumando. En este ambiente, hubo diferencia significativa entre hombres y mujeres en no prevenir la exposición (7,6% vs. 2,2%; p= 0,040). Se constató mayor riesgo de no prevenir el consumo en el hogar (dentro o fuera) cuando hubo algún miembro fumador (OR 3,55; IC95%: 2,(5)(6)14). Y menor riesgo cuando hubo dos o más niños en el hogar (OR 0,46; IC95%: 0,26-0,83). Conclusiones. La mayoría de los padres y cuidadores piden que se fume fuera del hogar y evitan los lugares con gente fumando, aunque, en los hogares con miembros fumadores, la prevención es menor. Palabras clave: preescolar, tabaquismo, contaminación por humo de tabaco.

Background: Pro-oxidative stress and pro-inflammatory responses can influence each other in the development of atherosclerosis. This study evaluated the relationship between oxidative stress, inflammation, and multiple peripheral artery occlusions in elderly patients (age mean 71.2 ± 8.1 years). Methods: A total of 723 participants were enrolled: 67 healthy subjects, 214 patients with common iliac artery occlusions, 224 patients with popliteal artery occlusions, and 218 patients with femoral artery occlusions. We measured oxidative stress biomarkers (malondialdehyde [MDA], F2-isoprostane [F2-isoP], total oxidant status [TOS], and ischemia-modified albumin [IMA]) and the expressions of molecules in mimecan (MIME)/nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB)/P53/Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) signaling pathway in older patients with multiple peripheral artery occlusions. Results: The levels of MDA, F2-isoP, TOS, IMA, MIME, NF-κB, P53, and TLR4 were increased in the single-site peripheral artery occlusive group when compared with healthy controls ( P < .001) and were further increased in the multiple-site peripheral artery occlusive group compared with the single-site peripheral artery occlusive group ( P < .001). Conclusion: Oxidative stress may promote inflammatory signaling pathways and lead to multiple peripheral artery occlusions in elderly patients.
