卫生福利部健康署昨日指出,40岁或以上吸烟女性相比未吸烟女性,发展中度至重度面部皱纹的风险高3.1倍。
署方引用一项美国研究,该研究探讨了「吸烟包年」与男女面部皱纹之间的关联。
研究对象包括299名从未吸烟者、551名前吸烟者和286名现吸烟者,年龄在30至69岁之间,均来自某健康维护组织。
研究通过问卷评估参与者的吸烟状态、吸烟包年及其他变量。
参与者的面部皱纹由不知情研究者使用标准化视觉评估方法进行临床检查和评分。
由于明显皱纹在30至39岁人群中非常罕见,分析仅限于40岁以上受试者,其中包括227名从未吸烟者、456名前吸烟者和228名现吸烟者。
署方表示,研究结论为:在控制年龄、平均日晒和体重指数后,现吸烟者相比未吸烟者发展中度至重度皱纹的风险,男性为2.3倍,女性为3.1倍。
研究指出,「女性可能对吸烟导致面部皱纹的影响更为敏感」。
署方强调,外貌变化仅是吸烟负面影响的一部分,慢性健康损害和生活品质下降的影响更为深远。
随着台湾 Girls Day(本周日)的到来,署方鼓励女孩了解烟草和尼古丁产品的健康风险,并为自己做出健康选择。
署方表示,赋能女孩需要建立她们的知识、技能和信心,早期培养健康素养有助于女孩在面对同伴压力、外部环境因素和激进营销时保护自身健康。
世界卫生组织研究估计,全球有3700万名13至15岁儿童使用烟草,署方指出,烟草业采用多种策略瞄准年轻客户,包括使用亮眼、时尚、高科技产品设计,并通过社交媒体和网红积极推广。
面对诸如「可爱」、「时尚」或「大家都在用」等营销信息时,女孩应超越包装外观,不让其影响健康决策。
署方说明,青春期是大脑、肺部及全身发育的关键阶段,尼古丁暴露越早,成瘾和持续使用的风险越高。
署方建议女孩应对第一次尝试说「不」,并远离所有香烟、电子烟及其他烟草或尼古丁产品。
