中国男女性人口吸烟生命表

Smoking Life Tables of China's Population for Male and Female

本文应用生命表技术,探讨了编制吸烟生命表的方法,并建立了中国1984年男女性人口的粗与净吸烟生命表。结果表明,中国男女性人口预期寿命存在着明显的差异,男性出生时预期吸烟寿命达35.91年,为女性(6.96)年的5倍。男性出生时预期最终将吸烟的人口比例达83％,为女性同一比例(22％)的3.8倍。作者认为,吸烟生命表是深入研究人口吸烟行为的理想方法。

The life table techniques were employed in this paper to develop the methods of constructing a smoking life table. The gross and net smoking life tables of China's population for male and female in 1984 were established. The results showed that there was a pronounced difference between the smoking life expectancy of China's male and female population. The male smoking life expectancy at birth was 35.91 years, 5 times as much as that of the female (6.96 years) and the proportion of the male who will ever smoke during the remainder of their lives was 83%, 3.8 times as much as that of the female (22%). The author thinks that the smoking life table is an ideal technique in the studies of smoking behavior.
