“…Another contributing factor to closing the gap in smoking rates between women and men in the < 55-year age group is the probable greater difficulty experienced by women in quitting smoking. 18 - 20 This is probably related both to physical factors, such as the relationship between nicotine and female hormones, and to emotional factors associated with mood and affect. In addition, earlier age at smoking initiation and longer-term tobacco consumption translate into greater difficulty in quitting smoking.…”

Objective:To determine the demographic and clinical characteristics of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), as well as their disease course, by age group and gender. Methods:This was a retrospective cohort study of patients diagnosed with NSCLC from 2000 to 2012 and followed until July 2015 in a tertiary referral hospital in the city of São Paulo, Brazil. Based on the 25th and 75th percentiles of the age distribution, patients were stratified into three age groups: < 55 years; ≥ 55 and < 72 years; and ≥ 72 years. Survival time was evaluated during the follow-up period of the study. Functions of overall and gender-specific survival stratified by age groups (event: all-cause mortality) were calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method. Differences among survival curves were assessed via the log-rank test. Results:We included 790 patients with the following age distribution: < 55 years, 165 patients; ≥ 55 and < 72 years, 423; and ≥ 72 years, 202. In the entire sample, there were 493 men (62.4%). Adenocarcinoma was the most common histological pattern in the < 72-year age groups; 575 patients (73%) presented with advanced disease (stages IIIB-IV). The median 5-year survival was 12 months (95% CI: 4-46 months), with no significant differences among the age groups studied. Conclusions:NSCLC remains more common in men, although we found an increase in the proportion of the disease in women in the < 55-year age group. Adenocarcinoma predominated in women. In men, squamous cell carcinoma predominated in the ≥ 72-year age group. Most patients presented with advanced-stage disease at diagnosis. There were no statistical differences in survival between genders or among age groups.

“…This is inconsistent with previous findings that the majority of female smokers participating in smoking cessation programs were college graduates. 16 In previous studies, female smokers who had not completed college were shown to have a lower intention to quit smoking. 17 Therefore, it is encouraging that the participants in this study had indicated an intention to quit smoking and participate in the smoking cessation program despite a lower level of education.…”

Background: Although there is strong evidence that behavioral counseling improves quit rates, limited data are available on individualized smoking cessation counseling provided to female smokers because they often are hesitant to identify as smokers. This study aimed to elucidate factors related to smoking cessation among Korean women who participated in the smoking cessation outreach program. Methods: This retrospective descriptive study used data retrieved from the Korea Health Promotion Institute. The data included individual participant characteristics, supportive services received, and self-reported smoking cessation outcomes from June 1, 2015, to December 31, 2017. Results: Data from 709 women were analyzed. We found cessation rates of 43.3% (confidence interval [CI]=0.40, 0.47) at four weeks, 28.6% (CI=0.25, 0.32) at 12 weeks, and 21.6% (CI=0.19, 0.25) at six months. Significant determinants of quitting at six months were regular exercise (odds ratio [OR]=3.02; 95% CI=1.28, 3.29; P=0.009) and the number of counseling sessions during the first four weeks of the program (OR=1.26; 95% CI=1.04, 1.82; P=0.041). Conclusion: Providing intensive counseling during initial phase of smoking cessation program and regular exercise would be effective strategies for smoking cessation programs for women smokers to promote their health.

“…The higher prevalence of users who sought treatment for MDI may be related to the characteristics of the study site, since this is an area of the city where the concentration of crack users is high (14) . Moreover, epidemiological studies show a significant increase in the consumption of this substance among women, even though such use continues to be more prevalent among men (9,15) .…”

RESUMO Objetivo: Verificar a associação entre o perfil das mulheres que buscaram tratamento especializado para uso de substâncias psicoativas, o tempo de permanência no tratamento e os tipos de substância de uso. Método: Coorte retrospectiva realizada com dados de prontuários de mulheres que buscaram atendimento em um serviço de referência para uso de substâncias psicoativas. Resultados: A amostra final foi de 411 prontuários. Houve associação significativa entre desemprego (p<0,000), morar em rua/albergue (p=0,003) e viver com o HIV/Aids (p=0,004) e o tipo de substância de uso. Os maiores preditores do tempo de permanência no tratamento foram ser usuária de cocaína e crack (OR=0,22), possuir familiares que fazem uso de substâncias ilícitas (OR= 0,36) e relatar ideação suicida (OR=2,7). Conclusão: Os fatores sociodemográficos e epidemiológicos das mulheres deste estudo estão associados ao uso de substâncias psicoativas. As estratégias terapêuticas desenvolvidas para esse grupo devem levar em consideração a estratificação de risco, com vistas ao cuidado integral e individualizado. Devem-se considerar abordagens persistentes de inclusão da família no tratamento, principalmente daqueles familiares que apresentam problemas relacionados ao uso de substâncias psicoativas.
