Pregnant Smokers May "Programme" Their Kids To Become Smokers
Pregnant smokers may "programme" their children to become smokers, suggests research published in Tobacco Control.
The authors base their findings on over 3,000 mothers and their children, who were part of a long term pregnancy study in Brisbane, Australia (MUSP) in 1981.
They assessed the smoking patterns of liveborn children when they reached the age of 21 in relation to the behaviour of their mothers during the pregnancy.
Around a third of the women said that they had smoked during their pregnancy.
The proportion of the children who took up regular smoking was greater among those whose mothers had smoked during the pregnancy than among those whose mothers had not.
Children whose mothers had smoked while pregnant were almost three times as likely to start smoking regularly at or before the age of 14 and around twice as likely to start smoking after this age as those whose mothers were non-smokers.
Smoking patterns among children whose mothers stopped smoking while pregnant, but then resumed the habit, were similar to those whose mothers had never smoked.
The findings held true even after adjusting for other factors likely to influence the results.
The authors conclude that their research provides some evidence that smoking during pregnancy has a direct effect on the child's chances of becoming a smoker. And they suggest that their findings are another reason why pregnant women should be discouraged from smoking. Pregnant Smokers May "Programme" Their Kids To Become Smokers
怀孕吸烟者有可能“教会”她们的孩子变成吸烟者。

“怀孕吸烟者有可能‘教会’她们的孩子变成吸烟者”，该项研究发表在《控制烟草》杂志上。
The authors base their findings on over 3,000 mothers and their children, who were part of a long term pregnancy study in Brisbane, Australia (MUSP) in 1981.
在对超过3000名母亲及她们的孩子（他们是1981年澳大利亚布里斯班长期怀孕研究人群中的一部分）的研究中得出了上述结论。
They assessed the smoking patterns of liveborn children when they reach the age of 21 in relation to the behaviour of their mothers during the pregnancy.
研究人员发现，当孩子长到21岁时，其吸烟的方式同他们的母亲在怀孕期间的吸烟方式类似。
Around a third of the women said that they had smoked during their pregnancy.
约三分之一的女性承认其在怀孕期间有吸烟行为。
The proportion of the children who took up regular smoking was greater among those whose mothers had smoked during the pregnancy than among those whose mothers had not.
怀孕期间吸烟母亲的孩子以后吸烟的人数比例远远超过怀孕期间不吸烟母亲的孩子。
Children whose mothers had smoked while pregnant were almost three times as likely to start smoking regularly at or before the age of 14 and around twice as likely to start smoking after this age as those whose mothers were non-smokers.
怀孕期间吸烟母亲的孩子14岁或14岁以下吸烟人群比例几乎为正常情况下14岁或14岁以下吸烟人群的3倍，14岁以上吸烟人群比例约是怀孕期间不吸烟母亲孩子的2倍。
Smoking patterns among children whose mothers stopped smoking while pregnant, but then resumed the habit, were similar to those whose mothers had never smoked.
母亲在怀孕期间停止吸烟，怀孕后又开始吸烟，其孩子的吸烟方式同那些从不吸烟母亲的孩子的吸烟方式类似。
The findings held true even after adjusting for other factors likely to influence the results.
即使调整了其他可能影响结果的因素，该项研究结果的真实性不容置疑。
The authors conclude that their research provides some evidence that smoking during pregnancy has a direct effect on the child's chances of becoming a smoker. And they suggest that their findings are another reason why pregnant women should be discouraged from smoking.
研究人员总结认为，他们的研究提供一些证据表明怀孕期间吸烟对孩子将来成为吸烟者的可能性有直接影响。同时，他们认为该项研究成果可以作为孕妇必须远离吸烟的另一有力证据。 [标签:content1][标签:content2]
