“…13,14 According to the results presented in the research paper by Ho K Y et al most of the participants they studied (68.7%) started smoking in as early as 13 to 18 years of their age. 15 However contrary to this, in the present study, only 32.9% of the participants who smoked were of age less than 30 years which might be because of the small sample of the population while high proportion of smokers were found in age greater than 30 years (67.1%). According to the studies by et al and A.N.…”

Objective: To determine the association between smoking and calculus deposition among patients presenting at a tertiary hospital of Karachi. Study Design and Settings: A cross-sectional comparative study was conducted at periodontology OPD, Altamash Institute of Dental Medicin,e Karachi for six months from 15- September-2021 to 15-February-2022. Methodology: About 150 male patients of age 11 to 60 years coming for routine check-ups were included. Patients were divided into two groups on basis of their smoking status. Clinical examination was performed for each tooth and presence of calculus was evaluated using Oral Hygiene Index (OHI).The measurement of calculus was done by visual investigation and tactile examination by using periodontal probe and mirror. For each individual, one tooth was selected from each sextant and average OHI score is calculated. Supra-gingival calculus present near marginal gingiva was labeled as mild whereas supra and sub gingival calculus with gum recession along with calculus covering more than half of tooth surface was labeled as severe. Results: Among 75 smokers, 44% had mild and 56% had severe calculus deposition whereas among 75 non-smokers, 86.7% had mild and 13.3% had severe calculus deposition. Odds of smoking among patients with severe deposition is 8.27 times higher than odds of smoking among patients with mild calculus deposition (OR=8.27, 95% CI=3.69-18.53) and significant effect of smoking was observed on calculus deposition (p=0.001). Conclusion: The study concluded that smoking has significant effect on calculus deposition. By taking smoking as a discriminant variable it is proved that calculus deposition is higher in smokers as compared to non-smokers

Background The recent development of smoking cessation interventions for smokers with chronic diseases has focused heavily on brief interventions. However, these interventions are too brief to make an impact on these smokers, especially when most of them are without any intention to quit. Previous studies showed that smokers who did not want to quit might be interested in changing other health behaviours. Also, once people engage in a health behaviour, they are found more likely to change other unhealthy habits. Hence, a general health promotion approach could be a feasible approach to motivate smokers who do not want to quit to first engage in any desirable health behaviour, and later quit smoking when they intend to do so. This study aims to determine the potential efficacy and effect size of such intervention approach in promoting smoking cessation for smokers with chronic diseases. Methods This is a randomized controlled trial. A convenience sample of 60 smokers with chronic diseases will be randomly assigned into either experimental ( n = 30) or control group ( n = 30). Smokers in the experimental group will receive an individual face-to-face brief motivational interviewing (MI) with generic advice on selected health behaviour. More brief MI messages will be delivered to them via WhatsApp/WeChat for 6 months. For subject in the control group, they will be asked to indicate their desirable health-related practice. However, no MI and booster interventions will be given. All subjects will complete a questionnaire at 1, 3, 6 and 12 months. Subjects abstinent from cigarettes at 12 months will perform a biochemical validation. The primary outcome is biochemically validated smoking abstinence at 12 months. Effect size of the intervention will be estimated by the odd ratios using intention-to-treat. Discussion This is the first study to determine the potential efficacy for the use of a personalized general health promotion approach in promoting smoking cessation for smokers with chronic diseases. If our proposed intervention is effective, we will able to assist smokers with chronic disease to quit smoking and change their health behaviour simultaneously.

Background: The World Health Organization has identified four major behavioural risk factors—tobacco use, excessive alcohol consumption, an unhealthy diet and physical inactivity—that substantially contribute to non-communicable diseases and can increase the risk of death. A literature review revealed that clustering patterns of multiple health-risk behaviours among the Chinese population have been underexplored. This study investigated the prevalence and clustering patterns of multiple health-risk behaviours and their associations with non-communicable diseases among Chinese adults in Hong Kong.Methods: A large sample survey was conducted in all 18 districts of Hong Kong between 21 June and 31 August 2021. A behavioural health-risk factor survey was used to collect demographic data and information regarding smoking, alcohol consumption, physical inactivity and an unhealthy diet.Results: A total of 5,737 adults completed the survey. Overall, 4,605 (80.3%) had at least one health-risk behaviour, and 2,696 (47.0%) had two or more health-risk behaviours. Multiple health-risk behaviours were more prevalent among men. The prevalence of smoking and alcohol consumption among Hong Kong Chinese women was considerably lower than in most Western countries. In contrast to previous findings, this study revealed that a high proportion of adults with high educational attainment or household income had multiple health-risk behaviours. In addition, this study revealed that the health-risk behaviours in Chinese adults co-occurred in clusters, with smoking and alcohol consumption co-occurring with other health-risk behaviours. Those who smoked or consumed alcohol had the highest proportion of multiple health-risk behaviours and the highest proportion of non-communicable diseases.Conclusion: This study addressed the gaps in the literature by examining the clustering patterns of multiple health-risk behaviours among Hong Kong Chinese adults. The findings add further evidence that health-risk behaviours co-occur in clusters and can contribute to non-communicable diseases.Trial registration: Registered at clinicaltrials.org (NCT04961073) on 14/07/2021.
