Purpose: The main purpose of this study was to explore the influences of adolescents’ smoking on the stress level according to gender.
Methods: We used the data from the 2008 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey conducted by the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention between the period of Jan. and Dec. 2008. The target population of this study is 805 adolescents in the 12~19 years old.
Results: 22.0% of male adolescents and 11.8% of female adolescents were current smokers. Hierarchical regression analysis showed that stress level was associated with self-reported health status, drinking, and smoking among males. Among females, stress level was associated with BMI.
Conclusion: The results of this study would help to develop smoking prevention programs and health promotion strategies for adolescents.
