“…However, as reported previously, validation studies showed significant correlations between information obtained by the food frequency questionnaire and the 48-hour recall 24 and between physical activity index and maximal cycle ergometer test. 35 Kentala et al 36 showed a significant association between self-reports of smoking (a measure similar to that used in our study) and biochemical measurements. These findings support the validity of the self-reports.…”

Background-The relationships between childhood lifestyle risk factors and adulthood pulse wave velocity (PWV) have not been reported. We studied whether childhood and adulthood lifestyle risk factors are associated with PWV assessed in adulthood. Methods and Results-The study cohort comprised 1622 subjects of the Cardiovascular Risk in Young Finns Study followed up for 27 years since baseline (1980; aged 3 to 18 years) with lifestyle risk factor data available since childhood. Arterial PWV was measured in 2007 by whole-body impedance cardiography device. Vegetable consumption in childhood was inversely associated with adulthood PWV (␤ϭϪ0.06, Pϭ0.02), and this association remained significant (␤ϭϪ0.07, Pϭ0.004) when adjusted for traditional risk factors (high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, triglycerides, systolic blood pressure, body mass index, and smoking). Vegetable consumption was also an independent predictor of PWV in adulthood when adjusted for lifestyle or traditional risk factors (␤ϭϪ0.08, Pϭ0.002 and ␤ϭϪ0.07, Pϭ0.0007, respectively). Persistently high consumption of both fruits and vegetables from childhood to adulthood was associated with lower PWV compared with persistently low consumption (Pϭ0.03 for both). The number of lifestyle risk factors (the lowest quintile for vegetable consumption, fruit consumption, physical activity, and smoking) in childhood was directly associated with PWV in adulthood (Pϭ0.001). This association remained significant when adjusted for the number of lifestyle risk factors in adulthood (Pϭ0.003). Conclusions-These findings suggest that lifetime lifestyle risk factors, with low consumption of fruits and vegetables in particular, are related to arterial stiffness in young adulthood.

“…Answers given by the respondents were accepted without any biochemical verification. This study, however, had guaranteed the anonymity of respondents, and the absence of school staff in the study area enabled the respondents to answer the questions without fear and stress; findings in previous study (Kentala et al, 2004;Wilson et al, 2011 ) indicated a high level of consistency between questionnaire answers and biochemical verification of smoking status if the anonymity of respondents was protected. Despite the limitations, we feel confident that the study provides adequate information on factors associated with susceptibility to smoking among the adolescents in the country and that, it may provide useful cues for the development of effective strategies within future programmes designed to stem out the smoking scourge among our adolescents.…”

Background: Smoking among adolescents has been linked to a variety of adverse and long term health consequences. "Susceptibility to smoking" or the lack of cognitive commitment to abstain from smoking is an important predictor of adolescent smoking. In 2008, we conducted a study to determine the psycho-sociological factors associated with susceptibility to smoking among secondary school students in the district of Kota Tinggi, Johor. Materials and Methods: Two thousand seven hundred students were randomly selected by proportional stratified sampling. Analyses on 1,736 non-smoking students revealed that prevalence of adolescents susceptible to smoking was 16.3%. Results: Male gender (aOR=2.05, 95%CI= 1.23-3.39), poor academic achievement (aOR 1.60, 95%CI 1.05-2.44), ever-smoker (aOR 2.17, 95%CI 1.37-3.44) and having a smoking friend (aOR 1.76, 95%CI 1.10-2.83) were associated with susceptibility to smoking, while having the perception that smoking prohibition in school was strictly enforced (aOR 0.55, 95%CI 0.32-0.94), and had never seen friends smoking in a school compound (aOR 0.59, 95%CI 0.37-0.96) were considered protective factors Conclusions: These results indicate that follow-up programmes need to capitalise on the modifiable factors related to susceptibility to smoking by getting all stakeholders to be actively involved to stamp out smoking initiation among adolescents.

“…These circumstances can partly explain the high number of smoking women in cities. On the other hand, women in rural areas are less economically active, more cotinine, CO, SCN) which can be used for the verification of the information obtained by questionnaire [29]. But selfreported smoking has been found to be an accurate measure in most studies, especially in case of interviewer-administrated questionnaires [30].…”
