Smoking patterns by birth cohort in Argentina: an age-period-cohort population-based modeling study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Argentina's smoking rates remain high. We aim to estimate Argentina age-specific histories of smoking initiation, cessation, prevalence, and intensity by birth-cohort to inform policy interventions.

Methods

Modeling study. Data from three Argentinian nationally representative surveys conducted from 2004 to 2018 (n = 268,193) were used to generate smoking histories. The Cancer Intervention and Surveillance Modeling (CISNET) Network Lung Working Group age, period, and cohort modeling approach was used to calculate smoking initiation and cessation probabilities, ever and current smoking prevalence, and intensity (cigarettes per day, CPD) by age, sex, and birth cohort from 1950 to 2018.

Findings

Ever smoking prevalence increases with age up to 25 and decreases
